Get Me Out of Here!
From Get Me Out of Here! in Calcutta Ballygunge, India on Nov 23 '05
This morning we went straight away to get tickets to anywhere. We'd wanted to go to Darjeeling but both places said sold out, so guess not. Instead we are flying in the morning to Goa. It isn't that Kolkata is a bad place, we have met many lovely people here, it is just that we are ready to move on. We had really wanted to do the toy train up to Darjeeling but maybe next time. Walked down to the ATM to get $ for the plane then went to the Indian Museum. Cookie bought bracelets from this kid, bargaining with him was easy, with every "no" the price dropped further. The museum was huge, it is the largest in India but even with several sections closed it was still massive. It also stunk really bad in some areas, we skipped to sections because it was so bad. Beautiful statues, I have to admit, they were even more intricate then Ankor. Also had a tinyEgypt section, I wonder if Egypt will have a tiny India section? Then went to a fancy hotel toeat as the street food, well just to remind you, people here do EVERYTHING on the street, and I don't want to eat everything. The place was fancy but the food was still only 1 to 2 dollars. Crazy. That was our Thanksgiving lunch, we thought of you all. Then back for our tickets, the price had increased by 140 dollars but it is worth the extra to leave and still a lot cheaper then, say, the states. Then we came here and I wanted to add pictures but you can't insert disks so maybe next time I hope. Now my butt is sorefrom sitting for so long so enjoy your Thanksgiving and we love you.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!
