Lynn and I worked in Mussoorie from 1981 to 1990. Our son Aaron was 5 months old when we arrived, and our daughter Anjali was born here in 1983. Until this week, neither of our children had been back to India since 1990. Anjali and her husband Nathan landed in Delhi in the early hours of Tuesday morning this week. Aaron will be coming in mid-December, along with his children Isaac and Annika.
So, it was way beyond special for us to meet Anjali and Nathan at the airport in Delhi! We spent all of Tuesday in Delhi, resting up and doing a little exploration of some Delhi shops, with the help of Delhi's wonderful Metro system.
Early on Wednesday morning, we caught the Shatabdi Express from New Delhi Station to Dehradun. Then it was up to Mussoorie in the Bolero. Thursday was spent in a leisurely walk through Mussoorie's bazaars. Although Anjali was only 7 when she left India, and she's been gone for 24 years, many of her memories are remarkably clear.
Here's a slide show with some images of our first three days together in India. A second post and slide show will appear here soon.
Wonderful pictures. So nice for you to be together.
