India Gate - Delhi

I am sitting at the airport on my way back to Delhi (feels weird to be on a domestic flight; should be International right?!) after by far the craziest weeks of my life. I seriously could sleep for 3 days straight if I could but I just found out that I may have to travel again next week. Has anyone ever died of exhaustion? Seriously. So, here is a little glimpse into my first week in India. I have so many stories but I haven’t had time to write. I had to write out what I did this week because last Sunday feels like a month ago (hopefully this is not an indication of how this year is going to go) and I wouldn’t be able to remember anything without doing this. As you read this please remember that all of these experiences came as a result of a 30 second conversation 3 months ago at the end of a meeting that I almost cancelled. Crazy!
