Embassy Day

Today is our Embassy day!  We got 3 hours of sleep I think, but to our bodies, it was the middle of the day so as tired as we were, it was still hard to get into a deep sleep.  I think we were also a little bit in culture shock as well, so our minds were working overtime.  

We are so grateful for your prayers.  Our hotel driver was there to pick us up and we are so thankful he was.  He was accosted several times on the way out of the airport by other men wanting to take our luggage.  I don't know what we would have done on our own.  We've lived a pretty sheltered life. :)  And then of course is the ride back to the hotel.  It is true what they say, "You are taking your life into your own hands when you get out on the road. " :)  The lines on the road mean nothing, and the horn honking is pretty much constant.

We have a long day ahead I'm sure as our bodies start adjusting to the time change and culture change.  So far we haven't had anything to eat since we left the airplane, so we'll try that today also.  I guess my next post will be from Kolkata.  Till then...
