The train trip from Varanasi to Delhi was supposed to be about 12 hours. We were almost 8 hours delayed. We left V 2 hours late and somehow along the way lost a lot more time. No one ever seems to know why.
Oh well. We had planned to do a couple things in Delhi but didn't have time to do much other than reorganize/repack; shower and have dinner.
It was a bit disappointing. I really wanted to go to the spice market and pick up a few things but I guess buying them at the Mekong Market in Mesa will have to suffice.
I am on a layover right now in Frankfurt and then on to Denver and then to Phoenix. Richard is on his way to Laos.

Hi Richard and Carole,
Hope the last train trip in India was not too bad. Hope you enjoyed visit those places in India a lot. Hope your trip home to America and to Laos are very nice.
Hope to see you again some day soon.
With our love, Neat, Vatana, Thida and Poan
