The National Library and Associated Trees, Kolkata

My friend Noah rented an amazing river boat for his sister Dora’s birthday, and invited us along for a cruise on the Hooghly.  These are just some random shots taken on, or from, the boat.

Yesterday we went to the track to bet on the ponies.  We were way more confident this time around - last week, we bet based on horse names and mystical numbers, and got our clocks cleaned.  This week we relied on the endless number friendly fellows who offered their opinion on which horse were “good horses.”  Turns out, they were usually right.

The Kolkata Metro is a great way to get around, if you don’t mind a bit of a people-crush.  I snapped a couple of pictures before some gentlemen severely reprimanded me, pointing to the gigantic “NO PHOTOGRAPHY” sign hanging above my head.

Thanksgiving in Kolkata!
