Rishikesh

The first place I will be staying is Rishikesh, where the Ganges comes out of the Himilayas. This is an Indian holy place where it is illegal to eat meat. I lived here for several months in 1977. I am very curious to see how it has changed.

Pictures of me and my woman

This is the truly wonderful woman who I am blessed to have in my life. Her name is Katherine Durant




Here is my great grandfather. He is the man in the middle with the mustach. He was the mayor of Savannah when this was taken.

Reading and working on my feet

I went to Dr. Li Liu today for accupunture on my ankles. It seems to be helping. I finihed reading "Snakes and Ladders" by Gita Mehta and started reading "Holy Cow, An Indian Adventure" by Sarah Macdonald.

At this point I am just learning to use this blog software. I know I am not saying much of interest. Once I get closer to departure this will get more interesting.

6 weeks to go

I leave for India on Jan 11. Just over 6 weeks to go. I am very
excited, reading a lot about India every day. My ankle is not
perfectly well, but no matter what I am going. If I go as a guy who
can't walk much, so be it.
