Dear Micato Family,
On behalf of Fredy and myself we would like to thank you for the wonderful program you put together.
It began with our arrival in Bombay and were happily surprised to see Raj waiting for us. In spite of the long trip it was wonderful to see how busy and full of life Bombay is at night. The visit at the fish market was extremely interesting, just to see how busy and focused everyone was and I thought it was great that it is the women who are in charge. The visit to the laundry was great. Incredible how much clothing was being washed and hung!!! Raj took us to the Taj where we celebrated my birthday. What a wonderful treat!!
Varanasi was such a wonderful experience. Returning to the Taj hotel was so nice. This beautiful small hotel so close to an interesting and busy city. We enjoyed the evening prayers and ceremony followed next day by enjoying the beautiful dawn in the Ganges accompanied by the sound of the beautiful flute music.
Our next stop was Hampi. The hotel was so pretty and we enjoyed the visit to the archeological area. I had never seen temples in caves and it was amazing to listen to all the beautiful stories involved.
Hyderabad was spectacular. The hotel was wonderful. We enjoyed entering it on a carriage and listening to the stories of it. There was a wedding in the palace which allowed us to feel included in a local event. The city is very nice and we enjoyed the museums, the mosque, markets as well as shopping.
Cochin was very nice. We loved the Taj Hotel. There was also a wedding so it was full of life. The visit to the Village was very nice since it allowed us to see how people really live. We also enjoyed shopping there.
We enjoyed the boat trip from Cochin to Kukamarron. It allowed us to see some of the vegetation with its colorful flowers and rivers in India. The hotel was very pretty and it gave us the opportunity to relax and enjoy some time off. We enjoyed again going to a village and watching people eating and drinking, meeting a famous comedian and walking through a market. We went back to the Taj in Cochin and enjoyed a great lunch with Raj where we were able to thank him for making sure we had the opportunity to see India with him.
Time went by very fast but all the wonderful colors and scents of India will remain in our hearts forever.
Thank you for all the wonderful and thoughtful presents but especially for allowing Raj to be once again with us making sure that absolutely everything was running smoothly.
Thanks again!!
Francesca and Fredy
