| Love these train tickets!! So vintage! |
Imagine Michael, Eric, Kris and myself sitting on a very local and very small train in India. We had wanted to take the big, "fancy," more direct train but those were booked and we were more than ready to leave Mumbai, so we choose the small, local, longer train. In walks three young guys about our age, who take a seat next to the foreigner's. As we spend more time talking to them they inform us they are school teachers in a remote village. Michael and I look at each other with the same thought "let's go!" They are more than excited to have us so we exit the train and are literally in the middle of nowhere. We start walking down a dusty road and they inform us the school bus will be by to pick us up. We hop on a bus with tons of children, four or more per seat, and head off down the dusty road towards the school. Now mind you we are in the "bush" of India. We are later informed that this village has never had any foreign visitors before. We unload the school bus and find ourselves surrounded by over 300 children doing their morning prayers and meditation. It was one of the most beautiful and divine moments of the trip!
