November 23 Arrival in Kolkata

Very early up to get to the airport with Raju. Everything takes longer. No announcements. If you snooze they let you miss the flight!!!!!!! Arrived after 11 AM. COOL...25 degrees......what a pleasant change from the Mumbai oven. Hour's taxi to the Hotel Lytton. Upscale kind of accommodation, certainly for Indian hotels. Day will be free to explore. Below is a pic from the taxi. It says"obey the Traffic rules" and Danger in the middle......Good luck it says. But Westerners should NOT attempt to drive here!!
 A new mode of rickshaw...none of these in Mumbai.....hope for a ride.
 More traffic ....this herd of goats, in the middle of cars hooting at them

 Pedestrians, scooters....now goats....lovely
Below....feel hungry??
Busy street
 So many folk wanting to buy......wow
 Markets in the streets.
 Lobster Thermidor.....$10 local seafood for supper. Below....the sheep, not goats in the distance!1
