"How Much?!"

So two days left! I'm all packed (can't believe I was able to cram everything in my suitcases!!!) to head to Delhi tomorrow morning. We're spending the day in Agra at the Taj Mahal and spending the night there. We ship out for the US at 10 pm on Tuesday. I was really hesitant to leave Madrid when I studied abroad there but this time I can say with certainty that I'm ready to leave and glad to be coming home. It's been an experience... a CrAzY experience, but I felt an amazing sense of home in Spain that I think is very lacking here. I could go for some real 'home', so it's back to good 'ol Holland MA for me. I also feel like I need a vacation from this vacation, hahaha!

Another story: I was walking around on Colaba Causeway (a shopping area in South Bombay) to pick up last minute gifts and Madeline and I saw a tiny little stray kitten on the street corner. It was sooo little and cute, and everyone knows I'm a sucker for tiny adorable things, so we stopped to take some pictures of it. Immediately a man saddles up to us and says proudly "that's my pet", and we're thinking "...u-huh...". Then as we start walking away he starts yelling "how much!!? Very good price!!". That about sums up Bombay, someone will try to sell you a stray cat on a street corner if it means they can make a couple rupees.

I don't think I'll have a chance to blog while I'm in Delhi because it'll be a whirlwind of traveling so this might be my last one for this trip. Thanks to everyone who's been tuning in to here my about my latest adventure. I've been feeling very isolated from the US and everyone I love for a month, so getting comments and knowing that my family and friends have been reading my blog has really helped. I love you guys soooo much, thanks = )

until my next adventure,
over and out!
