My time in India hasn’t had me see much since I have been cooped inside since I have had a cold for the majority of the time that I have been here. However I have got to do some things mostly before I got sick. I got to go inside a nice temple while I was in Kolkata they wouldn’t let me take my camera in so I didn’t get to take any pictures. It was a Hindu temple and they had a small section for each god. They handed out powdered mints at each station and at one station I got one of the classic dots put on my forehead.

After a day and a half in Kolkata I got on a plane to go to Ranchi I flew to Ranchi but couldn’t land due to heavy rain and the plane was sent right back to Kolkata. The next day I caught another flight to Ranchi. It was about seven a clock when I first got to my new house. The house is big for Indian city standard with walls all around and a gate. There is about an equal number of cars to servants about ten each.

The Second Writing

As I pack and repack my bags keep getting lighter as I try to decide what to take and leave. It is a harder decision then I thought it would be since I want to take everything including my uber comfortable bed but I realize that this is nearly impossible with four days of traveling. So I’m settling with some clothe and Alaska things.
I’m excited for the four days of traveling which send me to Seattle for a day and then to London for three hours before flying to Kolkata. I looked at the interactive map for the Heathrow Airport in London and there was a Caviar Bar in the duty free zone and the prices are a lot cheaper (I say cheaper not cheap) so I’m tempted to try some. Once in Kolkata I’m not sure what I’m doing for the day but I am staying there for the night and will be traveling to Ranchi by train the next day.
I hope this is the beginning of a fun trip and I’m sure it will be.
