Calcutta the old British Capitol
South Park Cemetary...where the Brits lay
mmmmm......family on a bike!
It is such a fascinating, dense, crowded city....but the culture hub of India. Brillant friendly people, and the food.....um yea.
Mother Teresa's Homes....not what I expected, but you never know what something is going to be like until you get there, right? I don't think I have ever seen so many volunteers in one place wanting to help the poor!
yay for india and julia and christina and christy! fabulous. i love the pics.
ReplyDeletei had lunch with your mom last week. love it! love her! we're gonna become bffs while you're gone. :)
Okay, it's a week now since your last post!We're all dying of curiosity here. What are your impressions of this huge mass of humanity after week one? What bizarre and memorable things have you witnessed so far? Is Mother Theresa's legacy alive and well?
ReplyDeletehey uncle bob tina here! the city is def. overwhelming but you take it in in bits and you are def. just thankful for what you have. the Mother Teresa's legacy is alive and very well and it was an awesome experience volunteering with the elderly and the disabled children. just drving on the streets in a little taxi or walking is a memorable experiece b/c of all the people. i think that that in its self is the most bizarre thing, the way they live which is just so different than the way we live. they live in huts in the streets in such poverty, or just homeless on the streets, but this is something i was expecting. and it is amzing to see how well they do live in such extreme poverty b/c they have to and have been doing for a long time.
