kolkata/bangkok.

days turn into nights turn into days turn into nights.. and suddenly our time in india has come to an end. i couldn't even explain what we've been up to the last week or so because it basically involved drinking tons of tea.. walking steep hills.. street food.. momo's.. bike rides.. jojo's juice shop.. it's ridiculous how quickly it went by and how unprepared i was to let it go, but also how happy i was to know that when we got through customs, i'd be chilling out with my brothers who are two of my favorite people. also, much to our surprise, and by no hint of our own, this man at the airport decided he would try to get us put into first class.. pop-up personal television screens, foot rests, and food on china plates.. not too shabby.

we've said goodbye to stacy who's off to LA to spend christmas with her family.. we say goodbye to bangkok at 6pm.. vip bus and 13 hours later, we'll find ourselves on the beaches of phuket. i am feeling rather scandalous in my dress, having kept my knees and shoulders covered for the past month and a half.. funny how a few hours on a plane can bring you into a different world.

It's so good to finally hear from you. I have checking evry day, every few hours! Must get onto facebook when Ang is home so I can hear more. Give a call soon. I look forward to hearing from you. The 23 or 24th will be the best. Mom
