The Arrival

Remember the package with our cold-weather gear, that we shipped to northern India after leaving Nepal? The one that never arrived, leaving us in chilly, mountainous Ladakh wearing t-shirts and flip-flops?

Well, yesterday I got a message from our guesthouse in Varanasi, stating that it just arrived there, presumably marked "Returned to Sender".

So that's convenient.

The plains of India in July...it should be positively steaming in Varanasi. Nevertheless, if anyone is in that area and looking for some toasty fleeces, knit hats, gloves, and worn-out trekking shoes, let me know and we'll work something out.
