I on the other hand will not be able to write a song about Kolkata...in fact it's hard for me to even find the right words to capture this city and my experience at all. I have travelled and lived all over the world, yet of all the places I have been, no other city is quite like this one.
The cars, the traffic, the noise (OH THE NOISE!!), the smells, the heat, the wonder, the beauty, the people, the fact that each moment every sense is being used! There was the good with the bad, the memories I'll hold onto for the rest of my life, and those that will haunt me.
Give me a week to process my journey and my experiences and my feelings about life after Kolkata and I'll be able to provide more insight. I will be continuing my summer blog from home. But as for now, All I can say is so long old chums...so long my new friends....so long Kolkata. Mom your baby's coming home!

My love and prayers to you Erin. I hate that you had to go home early, but I feel so much better knowing that you are safe, getting better and with family. Keep Class III updated. Wishing you the best of health.

Erin,
I just now read your post that you are coming home. I know it is a difficult moment for you, but be strong and remember all the wonderful times you had in India. There are many people that are grateful for your courage and dedication to public service. Know that you can count on us anytime you need! I miss you! You are on my thoughts and prayers!
