India

"I think I'm going to Kathmandu . . . . I think I really, really want to . . . " Come on, sing it with me! Off to Kathmandu tonight! The rest of my trip in India was great. I saw a wild tiger in Ranthambore Park, saw the Taj Mahal, and spent two days in Varanasi. Varanasi is very interesting. I also just got of a 19 hour train ride. I slept with two screaming babies. Ear plugs, thank God for ear plugs! I just talked with 5 young Indians at breakfast in Delhi. They work the night shift calling the U.S. and selling mortgages. They were very nice and wanted to know all about the U.S.A. They have American sounding aliases like Laurie Williams, Scott Parket, etc. A few had some strange ones like Melvin George. I gave them all new updated names. Guess who's names I used :-) It could be you!
