On A Jet Plane

So as I count down the minutes to leave this evening, I thought this picture summed up a lot of what we've experienced....shock turned to understanding turned to hope. This was actually a light load for a moped and most times you'd also see a mom on there holding a baby and we would pass by with our jaws dropped until day three when it wasn't shocking any more. Yet, yesterday they announced the world's cheapest car made by Indian manufacturer Tata to combat just this scenario. Things are changing bit by bit but at a pace that takes more patience than I can imagine. As we thought when we arrived, all of us on this trip will be astronomically more appreciative for everything we have in the US when we return and that was worth the trip alone. Can't wait to see everyone and share the tales and stories in person.


So long from India!
