All arrived safely in Kolkata (including luggage) and without
incident early on Friday morning (Nov 2).
All very tired when we reached St Mary’s, Dum Dum after that unique first encounter with India life. Went to Motherhouse in the evening and gathered around Mother Teresa’s tomb after
viewing her sparsely furnished room. We joined many volunteers and the
Missionaries of Charity for the 4.30 Mass. Afterwards met up with Jim Maginis
and he led us through the narrow crowded streets of the Muslim quarter as
darkness fell. All phoned home after a simple evening meal in Jojo’s. Rain
began to fall heavily as we made for the Metro back to base. Still busy streets
and stalls around St Mary’s. Very easy to fall asleep that
night.
