We’ve docked in Calcutta and this is our last day!! I’ll be glad to come home. We tour the city today and leave here tomorrow at 3:00 for the airport. I finally caught some kind of respiratory thing 2 days ago that’s been going around. I think someone began the trip with it. We had wonderful massages yesterday and toured some French settlement. The names are so long here and impossible to remember. I’ll try posting some pics. See you Thursday!!!!❤️❤️❤️

I’ve posted a few pics below but it takes forever to do each one!! We have 21 people on this boat that holds over 50 passengers. It’s great! We’ve become friends with one couple from Yuba City. Many are from England, Australia, Quebec and New York. A great group!! The food onboard has been excellent and Weight Watchers is but a memory. I had lost 3 lbs before we left but there’s no doubt that it’s back. We are still veggies tho because it’s really easy here. Miss you all!!❤️

Village life. Those are cow dung patties on the wall of the house that are drying for use as fire wood!!!

We walked thru a small village and our guide had a friend whose niece was getting married in the evening. This is her!! This was wallpaper sized! We were all invited to the wedding but we’re leaving in the afternoon.
