Day 270

YELLOW CABS OF KOLKATA (Calcutta), India.  Ever since I saw photos of my grandson sitting on the hood of a Kolkata cab, I wanted to visit the city.  I wasn’t disappointed, since the city is still full of these nice looking cabs.   Is it nostalgia thinking of the old cars in the U.S. that I was place on for photos?  Maybe, though these are still being produced so maybe they haven’t changed over the years.

This is my first photo of our 10 day visit to Kolkata.  I had forgotten my card reader, so had to wait until returning to Dhaka to post photos.  Coming home God provided protection for my laptop.  While navigating the rough street to the ferry ghat my backpack with the computer in it came hurtling down on to the floor of the bus!  I had it wrapped in two pieces of clothing for protection.  Upon arriving home I saw that the battery had started to come apart from the computer.  I shoved the battery back into place, started up the computer and there appeared to be no damage!  A blessing to be thankful for indeed!

Hope you don’t mind, as there will be many more Kolkata photos in the days to come.

Day 174

HERE I AM AT WORK EITHER checking e-mail or sorting photos.  This is in the dining room of the Cherrapungee Holiday Resort. Alice did get her point-and-shoot and did shooting on this trip.  It’s one way to get my photo on the blog!  We actually checked out and headed back to our Hotel in Syhlet, Bamgladesh yesterday morning.

Day 27

CHOWRASTA MALL in Darjeeling, India.  This is the sight that greeted us as we returned from a little hike to see the sunrise hit the Kanchenjunga Mountain range.  Early mornings are great times to capture photos, as well as a good time to get your daily walk in.
