Leaving India-

It's now 11:15pm in Delhi. I've eaten a wonderful non-vegetarian meal of lamb-prepared mildly spicy----with THE best cr. of mushroom soup I've eaten in my life. In addition, we watched our cooks prepare the Nann--a wonderful rolled, thinned, and baked piece of white flour bread---but not bread as in slice----but rather like a large odd shaped crepe'. It was light and browned, infused with spice and garlic. After baking it was brushed with butter------OH my goodness!!!! Delightful!
Our dinner hosts were attentive, engaged us in conversation, and tended to our every need. We even had warm water finger bowls with lime after dinner. Exquisite!


This fabulous meal was shared with two wonderful traveling companions----two women with whom I would travel anywhere with. Such humor and warmth! Thank you two so much for teaching me some of the traveling ropes! May I travel again with you!
Attached are a few pictures-----the first at the bottom of the Himalayas, yes, they do have camels here (no-I did not go for a ride-(I went over and spoke to the horse that was there), and this is how the women ride, always. I saw one woman driving her own bike-----out of the hundred or so I've seen here!
Time for bed now----
Lynn
