I forgot to pack toothpaste. But I did pack a small tube for the plane ride, so all is not lost.
I didn't bring anything to write a journal, but I did handwrite a bit of an entry today. Steph, I guess great minds think alike.
The ride here was long, but o.k The airline had very good vegan food. Lots of vegetarians on the plane because of a lot of Indians. I had a bit of anxiety being in a strange land all alone, but am getting over that. The guide is very nice and picked me up at the airport. Only one other person on the tour with me, which is a bummer. She's from Austrailia. Apparently she had major anxiety too and wanted to turn around and go home. But she decided to give it three days. Hopefully she'll stay. We had a little "orientation" meeting today and she seemed upbeat.
Dehli is an amazing place, very unkempt, crowded, loud, smelly, horns going off all the time, it's amazing. I took a walk around the hotel, but didn't stray far because I realized I didn't have any money or the address of the hotel. I could see myself getting lost in this place. The hotel is very nice and clean. The power has gone out a couple of times and they say that's very common. The weather is warm upper 80's.
I'm not sure when, but I'll try and journal from time to time. |
