Time to pack up and go...

Well, somehow the day is already here! Time to hitch up our gear and get movin' on down the road. And when it's time to go, you just go. You figure out how to put your house on a cart, hitch up the beast, and start movin'.

So that's what we've done tonight, even though our adventure stories here on Curry-osity are still a few weeks behind. I'm determined to continue writing about our travels; from Kerala to Mysore, and of course, quite a bit of time in Bangalore, there are still sights and stories to share. We've had fun blogging about them and we'll keep it up to finish out our trip. But it might be a few more days yet.

In a few hours we'll fly to Germany, where we have decided to maximize our connecting flight through Frankfurt. For six days we'll poke around Heidelberg, Strasbourg and points in-between. That is, if we survive the shock at how expensive everything is! It's easy to get used to lunch for two for less than $2. But that won't get you far in the land of the Euro...

A HUGE thank you to Deepak, Rashmi, young miss Shruti, and her grandfather, all of whom have been such wonderful, generous hosts to us here in Bangalore. They have housed us, fed us, and generally have been essential to our taking this trip. Thank you for sharing your home, your time and your family, but especially your amazing, huge, complex and wonderful country! I have no idea what impact India has had on us, but for sure it has changed us in ways we'll be figuring out for a long time. In the meantime, don't stop pushing! (or pulling, as the case may be)...
