onward

Tomorrow we fly from Delhi to Mumbai. Our flight leaves around 9am and we arrive in Mumbai about two hours later. Anil's cousin Gaurav will be picking us up at the airport. Our train to Goa leaves tomorrow evening so we'll arrive in Goa on Sunday morning. I don't really know how it's gonna work on the overnight train, but we'll be lucky to have Anil's family around to show us how it's done. We're both really looking forward to being with his family. I have only met his uncle once and he was very kind. I'm told that his cousins Gaurav and Tanvi are also very nice and that I will get along with them. We're definitely missing out on social interactions here and are crossing our fingers that we will meet other travelers and English-speakers along the way. We did meet two Americans at breakfast at the hotel the other day which was nice and we also bumped into a frazzled British couple at the Red Fort. They (admittedly like us) felt very overwhelmed by everything Delhi... like they were drowning in the chaos. They were only going to be in India for two weeks though and when we told them we were traveling for three months they looked so sorry for us. Admittedly, we felt pretty sorry for us too on Wednesday after returning from our day trip from hell with the devil named Khan (he will be reincarnated as a hyena I'm sure). Anyhow, we're trying to stay otimistic and we can only hope that we've started with the worst and that it will only get better (or at least not deteriorate dear god) from here on in. Ps. I've been able to update so often because I brought my iPod Touch and the hotel has wi-fi... I might not be so lucky the rest of the journey.
