Transfer to India

For the past two weeks I have been traveling with a group of seminary students and others on my usual Middle East Travel Seminar in Israel and Palestine (see http://lpts2011mets.blogspot.com/). This morning I leave them to make their way home while I fly to Istanbul, then Delhi, then Bangalore to meet the others on the India leg of the trip. If there is internet available there I will tell the story and post pictures for friends and family at home. We will be staying in ashrams and guest houses in Bangalore, Tamil, and Kerala. My daughter Claire will join us in Kerala and travel back to Bangalore with me. Neither of us has ever been to this part of India before. We are very excited to be there and to be on a very different kind of journey.

    Trisha,
    I'm thrilled to know you'll be visiting South India, where my Uncle (LPTS grad, Paul Love) has served in ministry and mission for 50+ years. He would love the opportunity to show you around one of his favorite places, Kerala, (he serves on the Board of Kerala College) however because of new visa restrictions, he has just left his home in Madurai for the United States for a few months. He will be so disappointed to learn he missed seeing you and your entourage.
    I remember so vividly my journey through South India in January 1997 and hope you all will soak in every adventure. Prayers for your safety and well being,
    Carol Love Schwabe (LPTS, MDiv 1997)
