We have arrived! The early morning hour proved favorable for us foreigners. It wasn't as crazy as I anticipated. Hallelujah! The smell of smoke from burning items is in the air. I swatted at a few mosquitoes. The seemed poor, frail, weak. We were greeted by Lee & James & received leis of beautiful, wet, tinsel-decorated Indian flowers. Who knew?!? now we are snug in our rooms. The mini-refrigerator is extremely hot to touch on the outside but cool inside. The carpet in the halls exudes a smell I've never encountered before. It's nearly 4am. Wake up call comes quickly. I fade to sleep and wake tomorrow for a day of shopping and... Fabulous! Thank YOU for bringing us safely.
