A special thanks to Marcia, Terry, Judith, Kathy, Elodie,and Betty for your encouraging words. The chances of us stumbling upon this type of activity were slim, and in the old "Carpe diem" spirit, I jumped on it. These people are so friendly and helpful. They were advising us on where to visit, what to see and how to navigate through the city. A rare chance to mingle with these warm people.
My only regret - I stopped dancing to take a picture of J&J, grappling with the so important form and posture of this dance - you would have loved it. But they stopped dancing too, so no pics of them.
To answer your questions - the heat was overwhelming, and we ended up in an air conditioned library that was also in the park, right after this session, to regroup. We're going to India tomorrow. Incredible India as the commercials say. Hang in there dear friends and family. We'll do our best to keep you updated.

Don't forget to give me the hotel name. Do you get up early and turn in early or the other way around? Any difficulties with communicating? Do many speak English? Snow/ice storm yesterday and it's treacherous today - altho I don't think I'd trade it for the heat in Bangkok!
Tomorrow night we will be staying at The Mughal in Agra - it's a Sheraton hotel. Should be quite nice - we'll see. I have been getting up pretty early, and staying up late. I want to get as much out of this trip as possible. I'm leaving at 5 am tomorrow morning for the airport and it's currently after 11. Hope to sleep on the 4 and a half hour flight. Some difficulties communicating, but I've got a few phrases in Thai down pat, and they come in very handy. Most people try to speak English though. Have I answered everything?
Yes you have. But here's another one - after all these weeks, how does it feel to not cook/clean/make beds/shop/etc/etc? I sometimes think I could stand Bangkok heat to avoid the same old chores! Enjoy!!
I can't wait to hear all the different phrases you learned throughout your trip!
Denise, I just got back from a luxurious trip to Darlington WI. I can't wait to show you the pictures! Okay just kidding-Wisconsin was great but can't compete with the sights in Agra. You are coming home soon-enjoy every last minute of it. Kathy
