Well this is it folks, sort of. I have a couple journal entries composed in my head but due to illness never got them typed out. One is about a family scandal. I should have titled my last entry "how to lose 5 pounds in as many days" although it's not a weight loss program I would ever recommend. We leave for home tonight! We are going to rest in a hotel in CA before heading across the desert. In about, oh, 56 hours we should be walking through our front door. Not that I'm counting or anything.

Please do check back for those final entries, a few more photos and video clips including a Hindu puja. Thanks so much for coming along for the ride!
