Commercial Street

The India leg of our trip is nearly over. Tomorrow is the last day here before we head off to Ireland. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here for nearly three months! It’s been great to visit the Baha’is in the area, and we’ve really enjoyed the chaos, but at the same time I think we’re looking forward to quieter more orderly times in Europe. I’m really glad we experienced India for the length of time that we did. I don’t think we could have got an appreciation for the real India in a quick trip.

Our activities today were pretty mundane. School work as ever, and then a trip to Commercial Street. We didn’t buy anything, but we did experience India’s chaos at its finest. I think we’re tired of shopping and tired of fighting the crowds and picking our way through streets with no sidewalks. We ended the day empty handed for a change and were quite happy to return to the Baha’i Centre to start the near impossible task of sorting and packing. Krista, I think we’ll have another box or two to send home to you!

Wow. I cannot believe that it is time for Ireland already. Have a great trip and give hugs and kisses to Elizabeth & Luke, Julia & Sophia when you see them. We'll catch up with you properly there.

XOXO
