Day Three

We flew from Delhi to Kolkata this morning. It was one of the best flight experiences I've ever had. And, interestingly, the flight attendant spoke to everyone on the plane in English when distributing drinks....

Holy cow! During our ride from the airport, a cow sprinted across the highway in front of our land rover taxi. Never in my life have I seen a cow move that fast. Our driver slammed on the breaks as we all gasped and covered our mouths. After we missed the cow by a hair, our driver slapped his sweaty palm on his leg in relief. Today would not be a good day for him if he hit that cow.

First impressions of Kolkata: lively, friendly, very warm, with lots of colors and people lining the streets. I'm looking forward to spending the next couple of weeks here.
