UP North: made it from a 35 hour train ride, AGRA



Well I thought I was going to go to south India exclusively but, here I am In Agra. the Taj Mahal was A delight. I was sad and Calm and Amazed the environment is a host for so many world travelers.. many peoples and many culture rise to the occasion for a majestic viewing what a place.. I am glad SO GLAD I made it up here.. I am suppose to be 3000 kl south of here meeting up for the weeding party but >. WELL Plans change in INDIA... oh boy do they. I will be heading to Delhi tomorrow, and the Rajstan. But Dack to Cochi for the wedding in a flash..
Heres my advise: When you think your reality is as good as it gets.. try taking a different seat on the train or the bus and a whole new wolrds pops into view..

ALL MY Love and Peace... happy christmastime.. YOURS MELI

Hi, Melisa
I'm glad you got to see the Taj Mahal. And Agra; that's the setting in the background for The Sign of the Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes stories. It was a key area during the British occupation of India. Happy Solstice and Christmas. Alan

What up Sis!!
If you can head over to Cam's home page got a little vid of him up there for you. Mom got myself and her web cams for Christmas so if you find a skye account to use let us know, i'll make one here in a min or two. or Xbox360 are sold in India so if you find someone with one my gamertag is INFECTEDPB503, have them send a friend request and we can talk that way to.

Cam missed you at Christmas, he's napping now, but check the vid and some new picks up too.
I got lots of space where I host and can setup a thing for you to upload pics and I can post. LMK.

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great. I live doing something productive. the slow pace of settled India is to slow, I went on a walk with some elder women in my home upstairs, they take one step then the next and so on and I usually wait for the 12th step before I take my first one.. SLOW man I MEAN SLOW...its interesting for me.. I am a running dashing dancing prancer,, I can really move it... hah ha.. so this new speed of life .. I am glad I am a visitor.. any whoo.. blessing and peace. Auntie

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

Beautiful weather as a bit of luck for a getaway weekend

I can cross three more cities and towns off my all mighty list of places to see in and around Belgie. On the drive outta town we passed through Luik aka Leige, a nice city with sketchy people and high crime, but nothing happened to us and so it was fine; we did however see two empty wallets strewn on the ground in a very short distance in addition there was a fare share of local panhandlers asking for some money for the fix of the day, but also there was a good police presence and therefore the safety was not to bad. The town its self was nicer then one would expect, its hidden and strange, there are many little towns around it so getting into the center one must drive down into the midden. There is new construction for the train stations and its modern and fresh. If one walks to the water there are historic buildings that are right out of the middle ages, rustic slanted and wooden appeal. quite cool really. After only speeking French, we moved on to MAASTRICHT, Holland. Large fresh ...
