Amritsar
We took the overnight train from Delhi to Amritsar. Austen was our watch gaurd and made sure that our bags were safe throughout the night! While in Amritsar, we visited the Golden Temple, peeled vegetables and ate our meals at Langar (free kitchen), spend some time reflecting at Jallianwala Bagh (site of the 1919 massacre that sparked Gandhi’s non-violence movement), and cheered as we watched the Wagah Border Crossing Ceremony (a flag ceremony on the India/Pakistan border).

Deb,
I heard about that volcanic train rumble. It didn't take you long to off the gluten-free fare? I'm glad you (and Austen) are better and have some sordid and soiled shared memories in the bank! Am enjoying the great dispatches thus far. Take care.
