Only 3 more sleeps until I fly to Frankfurt and onward to Kolkata! This trip has been in the wings for a while, and it's hard to believe I'll actually be leaving on Thursday. My gear is strewn about in my yoga/office room and I've been going through my little piles trying to decide "to take or not to take?" I want to travel lightly and my last trip was anything but light! Tent, sleeping bag, rubberboots, cold weather gear, camping gear, cameras, etc. So this time I'm really trying to pare down. No, I won't be able to be prepared for ever eventuality, so why try?
I'm meeting up with friends of my brother in Kolkata: three musicians studying indian classical music on western instruments. They've been gracious enough to let me crash with them as I get oriented and I will be thankful to have some familiar 'unfamiliar' faces (as I've never met them before) to greet me when I get there.
From Kolkata, my plans are pretty open. I'd like to see Varanasi and the Ganges and then I'd like to head up to Darjeeling to drink some tea and do some hiking. But other than that, I will see where the wind takes me.
I'm hoping to be able to update this blog semi-regularly, so check back to see what kind of adventures I've been getting into.
Namaste!
