Delhi Day One - A Common Humanity

We toured the Indian National Museum.  There was a gallery devoted to intricate wood carvings.  Traditionally wood has been honoured by Indians and they will often touch it for good luck.  How similar to the tradition we have of saying, "Touch wood," for good luck.  This concept is found all over the world.  I was reminded once again how humanity has more in common than differences.  If we could only remember that, wouldn't the world be a better place?

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.
