And then you’re in Calcutta two weeks. Getting nowhere. I managed by cycling from office to office across town (still love riding in Indian cities!), to get a meeting with a Captain. I wanted to get on a ship to South East Asia. He was very positive and promising and told me to call him…
A man grabbed my hand, looked at the palm, and told me; “You are very lucky” Like he needed to tell me 🙂 It has been hot, as expected. And I’ve noticed (again) that my body still disagrees with the heat. If the temperature doesn’t drop below 33C at night I can’t sleep. And when…
