The Adventure Begins, it is now Wednesday the 11th. I left Monday. Other than my body being very confused time zone wise, I have been extremely comfortable. Highlights of the trip over here would be. One last delicious meal with my mom, forgetting my headphones at home, being on the flight with Bob Cook to Seattle, sitting with the adorable Germany family, and very nice (after bad first impression) lady from Norway, eventually finding Sisi, almost missing our flight to India, waiting for baggage-stressful, meeting Sisi’s wonderful friend of a friend, who gave us the Royal treatment on our trip to our hotel. (They even had a sign with Sisi’s name on it). Watching a dog sniff around the car, and going through more security at the hotel, checking in at 2am, not being able to sleep till the morning wakeup call at 7:30am, and finally taking my last beautiful shower for at least a while.
But I think the most amazing things have been flying somewhere between Greenland and Iceland during Sunrise. This was a once in a life time opportunity, and I almost missed it. Luckily the little boy sitting in front of me opened his window right at the perfect time. I opened it my window to find a beautiful pink sky, and Ice Mountains below. I really can’t actually describe it, it was just breathe-taking. There were Icebergs below, reflecting the Pink sky. I took pictures but I’m sure those won’t do it justice either. The other highlight is just the many people I met on my journey that were just so nice, and helpful. Standing in line at Immigrations, Sisi and I met two nice Indians. Both with encouraging smiles, and helpful hints. The thing I have been told to do through this whole thing is to just Be in India, and soak it all in. So I’m ready. We just got our wake up call, and Sisi and I are already for the day. So I think we might go explore the hotel. Hope all is well at home.
Xoxo Martha
