Hotel Lake View Ashok Bhopal

Some of those who were affected are still being treated for their ailments 26 years later.<br><br>We are excited by the way the Indian men are taking ownership of the Emmaus ministry.

... land! The men we were with bought some salwaar kameez and sweet treats for their daughters and wives back home "So they will encourage us to travel again" they said. <br><br>Finally we visited a Hindu temple. The first cultural experience there is being accosted by little children with marigold "leis" for sale to offer to the gods. When you get by there, you have to take your sandals off and walk around the temple grounds barefoot as a sign of respect ...

After 9 hours of travel (and this by 2 airplanes!) we arrived at the Catholic Centre being used for the all India ECS conference last night.

We arrived in Bhopal by train in the middle of the day. The trains in India are quite remarkable - efficient, well connected, run often. The train stations on the other hand usually leave much to be desired. Bhopal's was no exception. In an attempt to avoid the hoard of touts (rickshaw lady? where you going? cheap hotel?), we raced out of the station and started walking to our hotel ...

... a picture just to spite him, he was pretty ****** off. We rode back the way we came but now in the late afternoon the ghats were full of life, people washing and doing laundry. We walked down there but were a little bit concerned that it was an all male affair, most people were in a state of undress and we wern't sure if it was appropriate for Annette to go.
