It is Wednesday morning and we are on our last layover in Amsterdam.
Just to bring you up to date...
Monday morning - We visited the Taj and it was even more beautiful than we anticipated. We hired a horse drawn carriage from the Sheraton to take us into the gates of the Taj. It was very cool. It was like entering the Emerald City. We got some great photos.

After the Taj we had an 8 hour drive to Panipat, which is the home of Aashish and Parmod Vij. These are rug suppliers that I have known for 15 years. They showed us Indian hospitality at it's finest. Their entire family came out for a garden party. We ate and visited until 1:00 am.
Tuesday was our last full day. We met Aashish and Parmod at the factory and everyone but Kurt got Henna on their hands while Kurt worked for a bit. Then we toured several of their factories. We loaded up the cars and we were off to an Indian amusement center. We tasted all kinds of chat, or Indian junk food. It was all very good.

We were off to Delhi to meet one last time with Prem and Jacob Gideon. They served us a light Indian meal and we left for the Delhi airport at 11:00PM.

It was sad to leave India, but it will be good to be home. Everyday unfolded new adventures. This trip fulfilled and exceeded every expectation. We are so thankful for all you prayers and support. We look forward to sharing our pictures, videos (we promise to keep it brief), stories and memories with you upon our return to Mpls. this afternoon.
Blessings,
Kurt
