So, this morning I woke at 4:45am go dressed and headed to the train station to come to the capital. Tomorrow I will wake up probably at the same time, maybe earlier to go yet again to the train station to continue the mad traveling that is about to ensue. We will be traveling for the next couple of weeks, so internet will be somewhat limited. One quick funny story to start the journey....we arrived at the capital station and went to the International tourist office b/c that's where we figured we should buy tickets (usually I don it online). Well we arrived and it was so organised we didn't know what to do, so after waiting around looking stupid for about 5 minutes we filled out a form and sat down. After a lot of confusion and some smooth Hindi talking an hour later we had the train tickets. It would have been a lot easier to just stand in the regular line.
so we exit the station and get into a taxi that isbumper to bumper with about 5 other taxis. Now in the states you would wait and everyone would get in their cars and pull out so you can get out without doing damage to the other vehicles, but today he put the car into gear, rammed the car infront, out the car in reverse, rammed the car behind, put into back into first and rammed the car infront out of the way! Haley and I looked at each other, laughed and continued on our journey.
Ok well I will get back to you all when I get back.

Ha! That image reminds me of Austin Powers when he's trying to maneuver the golf cart. :) What's all the traveling for? Sounds like a cool way to wrap up your term though - see things one last time! But I tell you...I don't envy all the train travel.
haha!! Sounds like a fun adventure!
