It is Christmas morning here, and Christmas eve in the States. That's strange.
It feels really weird to be here, but also I am really distracted by everything around me. Darjeeling is really lovely, and we have a beautiful hotel room with a fireplace and a great view. We are at a bakery/internet cafe. I had to see when is the best to call my parents, and check up on the political situation in Goa (where we are headed on the 29th - and get there on the 31st....

Merry Christmas. May it be wonderful, peaceful, and practical.
