Ramesh

We were limited on internet access the last several days. In an earlier post, we told the story of Ramesh's first visit to see Maureen and the mission children running to help him as he was struggling up a hill. This picture depicts the wonderful spirit of giving that is shared by all we were able to treat through the phyiscal therapy clinic at the mission hospital.

Our carriage ride to the Taj Mahal and group photo on the Princess Diana Bench, which was made especially for her visit. The Taj is breathtaking and we are now steeped in Indian history from our very intelligent tour guide, Arif. It makes us appreciate and respect even more the people we came to serve. We are safely home. We will post some wrap up pictures tomorrow and have many tales to share and stories to share. It was a wonderful trip.

The group made it from Chennai to Delhi. Their tour guide met them at the airport and they took a 4 hour drive to Agra, where they spent the night. Good fortune was on their side, because their hotel rooms overlooked the Taj Mahal! The next morning, they were able to take a horse carriage ride to visit the Taj Mahal. Needless to say, words and pictures do not do this place justice.

That evening, the group went to another site, and they were scheduled to visit the Red Fort of Agra the next day. After they visited the fort, they were returning to Delhi to begin their voyage home.
