This morning we got up at 4:30 a.m. to catch the train from Bangalore to Chennai. The India rail system is one of the largest in the world. On my previous adventure to India my experience was at best hectic. Today's experience was almost too civil. There were few porters carrying stacks of baggage on their heads, I didn't get shoved even once, and there was not a rat in sight. However, I did enjoy delicious coffee from the wallah chanting "Cafe, Cafe, Cafe" and the on board toilets did not disappoint. A huge thank you to Aunt Gillian for re-enacting the infamous soap incident of 1969. Apparently Aunt Gillian, a very, very,very young girl at the time,dropped her soap down the train toilet whilst on the way to boarding school. Uncle John, sensing her distress, crawled under the train and rescued it off of the tracks. Caution: course of action not recommended😄 I hear it is snowing at home. Just spent an hour floating in the pool. Isn't life grand? You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

A, T and I watched Dad's video and loved Aunt Gillian's story! T is enjoying his last few hours of snowless existence. We all love you.
