LAST day in India

SOB!

Well, let's not get too worked up here.

This is, however, my LAST day in India and it does make me a bit sad. Not sobbing sad (as my opening may have mislead you to believe) because my time here has been... well, just look at previous posts and you'll understand. And despite it being great here I'm also very excited to get back to my "home" country so I can see love-ed ones, eat salad and other non-Indian foods, watch the Wimbledon finals, take real showers and so on. Not to mention excitement concerning the next new and exciting adventures I have coming up! But I am a bit sad to be leaving. It is inevitable as a good thing comes to a close. And who knows when I'll be back??

I also have a bit of a frantic feel. What have I forgotten to do, eat, see, experience????!???!! I never got my henna tatoos (my brother is probably sighing with relief - wouldn't want me coming back toooo hippied out, eh?), didn't manage to see the ENTIRE series of West Wing, Season Three (though, to be honest, that probably shouldn't be listed in the "India" column of my to do list) and who knows what else I've not done that I should have done while here? But I'm being silly. I've done a whole pile of things.

And I have much of great excitment coming up.

Briefly, for those interested in the details of my movements in the next week or so, I will be back in the US of A circa Wednesday, 2:30pm EDT (making the great assumption that my travel plans go smoothly), so consider yourself warned. Following a brief period of repose on the west side at my friend Sarah's I will be hopping a plane bound for the westerly regions of mother America. Again assuming all goes smoothly, Thursday night will find me snuggled into my very own bed in the Grass Valley, CA vicinity. A few days of rest and errands will hopefully prepare me for my first day o' massage school next Monday. Next Monday?? Yikes, I'll be starting school in just a few days!

Time to flee to finish my pre-departure doings and dodge the monsoons (see photo!)
