Major change of plans!

We decided rather than continue in the area of Delhi-Agra, we would go to the Himalayas, where we've been for the past day and a half. We've landed at a resort in the mountains owned by our host minutes ago. Lots of stuff and photos to catch up on soon!

Although far from the crowds of metropolitan India, satellite dishes and cell telephone towers are everywhere; technology and TV shows - including many American programs - are always nearby.
There is great concern over what is transpiring in Egypt. Indians there are leaving as quickly as they can. Media here are upset that the Indian government is not throwing its support behind the Egyptian people who want to dump Mubarak; India says it cannot get involved until they have someone in place with whom to deal.

Starting in Tunisia with young people, spreading and landing in Egypt's lap because of its horrific record of corruption and duplicity under the Mubarak regime.

More later!
