I am writing this as we ascend through the clouds above Europe on our way back to Washington, DC, on Sunday January 6. It has been a whirlwind 3 week trip to India and it ended just the way it started, with waves of joy, excitement and satisfaction combined with ripples of anxiety, ambivalence and discomfort. But just as you only have good feelings and memories after a long run and don't remember the hard miles, I only have good feelings and memories of India and will miss it until the next time.
Friday night we checked into a hotel near the Chennai airport around 9pm and soon after we got into our room all three of us went to bed. I had a cold and an upset stomach as did Nicole. Yesterday morning I woke up looking forward to a nice run in the early morning freshness of Chennai but felt too weak to get up from bed. I also had plans to check out the Chennai metro.
