2/3 Bolpur and Brooklyn?

Up and on our way to Bolpur before the sunrise.  Quiet reflection.  Bittersweet.  Familiar but new landscapes.  Brooklyn hip hop lightened the mood for a moment.  Lakes and beautiful hilly scenery.  A flat tire turns into a photo opportunity.  More rice paddies being tilled by spindly old men and giant bullocks.  Police demanding "taxes" from Bhola.   A quick but exceptional Bengali Thali meal in Bolpur the yellow University town home to a great grandmother banyan.  Bollywood magazines for the train to Kolkata;).  An honest taxi driver ... really?!.  Fairlawn Hotel for tea and a wash.  Drinks with the girls to "download".  .... So exhausted and overwhelmed both by the past two months and the uncertain future, it's hard to fall asleep but a movie with Abhishek helps;).
