Namaskar

Hello from Kolkata. I have written twice, but lost the post each time, so I've given up temporarily. Just want to let everyone know we are safe in Kolkata and really enjoying it. It is nothing like I imagined. Very diverse - dodgy areas, upscale areas, big green spaces, huge old palaces, lots of little shops, and people everywhere. Today we volunteered with two of Mother Theresa's Charities (one of us at each) and both had really positive experiences. We have two more days and then we are off to Bodhagaya (where the Buddha was Enlightened!). I'll try to write more soon.
