We have our bags packed and they are coming up to the hotel room with a scale to check out our weight limits for the flight. I was glad we could get them to do that as it's metric and I don't know what 40 lbs would be in metric. Kilograms? It really makes you want to expand your educational limitations. It's not good to be somewhere and not know how to do even the most basic of things. We will have our last dental visit today at 4:15 then we'll grab something to eat and Bahart is coming at 9 p.m. to take us to the airport. It really does feel like it's all been a dream and very surreal. Yesterday we got to see a horse draw taxi. There was a man on a bicycle with 8 huge bags of potato's selling them as he went along the road. Ladies with huge baskets affixed to their heads with loads of washing, limes, or other food items. The Saree's being the most common of dress here all look so elegant. It's really been something to see. There are some ladies that wear western clothes but they are far and few between. I think most of them are travellers much like ourselves. The art work that was done on Debra's hands is stictly traditonal for the Indian ladies. It's a sign of a great celebration in your life. We feel we had somethig to celebrate. The style is called "Mendi" It's beautiful. We are going out as soon as they weigh the bags and this computer will go in the carry on and the camera is packed away as well. It's been glouious and it's been such a comfort to know that the Lord has been with us all the way, that gold cross with rubies and diamonds around my neck is a constant reminder that you do come home and life does improve. I can't wait to put it back around the neck of it's rightful owner. It's never been off my neck the whole time we have been here. It's been to all the place seen all the shops and been touched by many different hands of Indian people who share in the knowledge of the Lord Christ Jesus and I think that's been an amazing part of this trip in and of it's self.
