Last Day in India

Sun at last. It's been quite rainy here in sympathy with the weather at home. We've been experiencing the effects of cyclone Neelam that's been slamming Chennai, to the east of Bangalore.
 After an early morning walk at Lalbagh and breakfast at MTR, we're off to Vijayapura, Manju's home village. We'll visit with family, eat lots more fabulous Indian cuisine, and then, hopefully, board a plane back home. We're hoping that Newark is fully functional and able to accomodate our flight from London. Otherwise, we may have an extended stay in the UK.

This has been an extraordinary week. Indian hospitality is unending. I am returning home with bags of delicious homemade delicacies and truly priceless memories, hoping that this is the beginning of another enriching global connection for Parker.
