FAREWELL TO "THE CITY OF JOY"

These are the last photos from Kolkata, "the City of Joy." We fly inland to Nagpur on Wednesday. On Thusday and Friday, we ride!

Pedestrians cross the Howrah Bridge, the 3rd largest cantilever bridge in the world. 200,000 people cross this bridge each day. It spans the Hoogley River between Kolkata and Howrah.

Forty young people receive credentials at the Immanuel Free Methodist Annual Conference

The crypt of Mother Teresa of Calcutta at the Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity

A typical Indian bicycle, the kind that is ridden in large numbers on the streets and roads of Kolkata. This is NOT the kind of bicycle we will be using when we make our 3,200 km trek from Nagercoil to New Delhi next year.

Typical intersection in Kolkata! At first it seems like one big game of chicken, but there really is some rational flow to it...I just haven't figured the rationality yet.
