Jet lag owns me at the moment. It can take me down anytime it pleases and keep me asleep for as little or as long as it likes. My soul and body are finding it hard to be completely in Seattle, though they are no longer in India, as well. I seem to exist in two realms, and if I had to name those realms they would simply be "Awake" and "Asleep."
I've been forced to do stuff today. Responsible stuff like dealing with the bank and getting my car and it's dead engine towed. The last two boxes that I shipped from India arrived and I unpacked them and felt like, "This is it. I'm all here. All arrived. My adventure is over. Tied up. Concluded. The End." I left everything out on tables for the day, though, so that I can process longer, leave the door ajar till I'm ready to close it for good and all.
I've also been uploading all my photos....or at least a grand amount of them. There are still some areas that might be flushed out a little more when I have the energy to sort through the thousands of pictures I took. As it is, I'm afraid, should you choose to peruse, you might also find yourself hunting a bit for the gems. I don't have it in me to go through and label who is who and all, just now. But if you've been following along, I suspect it might be a little like a scavenger hunt and you might just be able to put names to faces and illustrations to events.
So, I'm just gonna make a list of links here to galleries. I hope you enjoy them. I don't know if this is the last chapter, or just the last one for a few days, a week, what have you. But I am giving myself permission to step away and linger in the moments of reconnection here in Seattle.
Once again, your company has been invaluable. Each comment and private message sent has been cherished and made each step of this journey more rich. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now...The pictures:
Mumbai
Fort Cochin
Keralan Hill Stations
Lucky and Lakshmi
The Backwaters
Santiniketan

Varanasi
Jaipur and Agra (The Taj Mahal)
