Kolkata: Going to the Country

Good morning,

We are heading out to the countryside for a couple of days, 200 kms from Kolkata, to do two distributions.

It rained yesterday and photos were done in a sparse, crowded classroom. It was pouring rain this morning again and we may not be able to capture the scenery of the outlying districts in our pictures.

Our hotel is a popular venue for wedding and anniversary celebrations and we have had the honour of being invited to participate simply by walking down the hall. It's been a wonderful opportunity to sample the culture and customs of Indian society.

West Bengal is plagued with the avian bird flu and we are all on a diet of fish and vegeterian dishes. The food is wonderfully prepared and we are not missing the chicken.

Thanks for all the comments.
