Greetings. I apologize for the late post today. We had a slight snag in our travel plans today. The flight out of Allahabad back to Delhi was cancelled so the airline provided us with a bus to the airport in Varanasi. We are now at the Varanasi airport waiting for our 10:30pm flight. The comfy beds at Shanti Home Boutique Hotel will be especially appreciated for a group of tired travelers. Despite the long day everyone has a great attitude about all the little detours.

We made our final goodbyes to our boys. There were tears, pictures, requests for us to return, smiles, and hugs. I can assure you, the faces of those boys have been engraved on our hearts.

Sorry this is short. We are boarding. I will update tomorrow from the Taj Mahal.
