Kolkata: Road trip and fitbits

We are road warriors! Yesterday we travelled to the site at Contai and overnighted by the beach....arriving at night, but able to see the beach at 6:30am before today's distribution starting ...



Our travels took us through the countryside...dogs, chickens, cows, goats ... rice  paddies, fish farms, brick making, fresh food markets on the roadside, people, rickshaws, TRAFFIC, bumpy roads, pot holes, speed bumps, ...laundry, shrines, dirty dusty roads ... barber shops, people bathing on the street ... Your senses are alive at every turn.



Today, while returning to Kolkata we enjoyed alot of laughter watching the disco buses drive down the highway .... Another note of interest was that Helga's fitbit was racking up the steps while we were driving the bumpy roads!! She was up to 16,000 steps by the time we reached the hotel! Who knew you could add up the steps while sitting on your backside in the bus!  After a long day we needed that laughter!  



What will tomorrow bring? 
A well deserved rest day and some sightseeing...



Just shy of 2200 bedkits given out in 4 days.
