I think I'm in love....

... with Calcutta, people! Don't worry, I'm not running off with some little brown Indian man, I know you were all thinking that!

Between Holi yesterday, church this morning, hitting a couple sites this evening and ending the day with a trip to "new market" which is in fact very old, to see a tailor to have some Indian clothes made, where I also ran into a group of YWAMers who are staying the same place I'll be at starting tomorrow and rounding that experience off with a beer with my driver and tailor...

I'm quite content with this city and dare say I love it!! All the intimidation was worth it. Once you get through everything and reach the people who are sooooo friendly! Martin, the tailor, told me that I look very strong, but I have a soft heart. I told him I agreed and that my heart was to soft sometimes. Regardless, he said he likes me because of this and wants me to meet his American wife and spend some time with them. I might have a friend in this big city!

Anyways, I'm tired and I have a whole additional post regarding church in India versus church in America which I'll save for tomorrow. And then sometime in the next few days, you'll all be privy to a fashion show of my new Indian attire, complete with jewelery! I don't even want to think about how much money I spent tonight, but I was planning on getting some outfits and this is definitely something I can't get in America and custom made to my measurements, so well worth it in the end.
