We have arrived in India.
After a boat, a bus, another (bigger, packed and much sketchier) boat, another bus, a taxi, a plane, a night at the KL airport and one last plane ride...we arrived in Trichy in the south of India.
I won't deny it is hot. 37 degrees today...and it looks like a few solid 40s coming our way...but surprisingly (so long as you stay indoors at midday) it has not seemed to crippled us yet too much.
But then again, we've been here a day. We noticed on CBC.ca some interesting news, 27 tomorrow for toronto - we will be thinking of you tonight when the temperature here drops down around there...
It is a hectic place, to be sure, and that is evident already. But also immediately evident is the rich beauty of this land, and the people who call it home.
For those of you who know us well, you will understand why I am cutting this short. I smell the samosas sizzling on the street - no time to write, must consume copious amounts of Indian food!!! (Peter Anthos, we are thinking of you and your diehard love of the stuff)
Much love from India,
maeve/jay

Greetings Maeve Ji and Jay Ji,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the last leg of your journey. We look forward to postings from the land of bollywood, spice, hot sun and trains.
Had an amazing dinner on Friday at Mogette. Met Jays wonderful Auntie and Uncle who lavished us with the warmest hospitality. Wish we were with you.
Much love

Hi Guys, finally, the last of your wonderful journey - and I dare say the most exciting. All the best, can't wait to you see you both. Love

Hi again
ReplyDelete40 deg... yikes. Those samosas where likely sizzling on the sidewalk.
Be good and go easy on food until you adjust. No drinking lots of beer in a cool bar and then heading out into the heat of the sun... it'll knock you off your feet. That used to happen to tourists a lot in South Africa.
Let me know if you want to meet locals. I have a fair number of contacts in India.
Love you and miss you both.
