Mumbai Bombings

I'm fine here in Varanasi, India. Of course, I'm (and everyone in India)shocked. Security is being constantly talked about in tourist hotels, but there doesn't seem to be any threats or people worried that it will happen here. I've been glued to the news and shaken to the core about what happened in Mumbai(Bombay). Indian people I spoke to are deeply saddened about the events and the impact about tourism, especially in the approaching high season.

We all know, unfortunately, that our lives can change in instant. We have to cherish the moments.

Anyway, I know that many people are concerned about me and I deeply appreciate it.

I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to Nepal.

Steve glad to here you are okay. I have been checking the site a few times a day. Good to see your entry today. Some advice, walk in the shadows, travel the no/low budget route as no one will suspect a 60 year old american will travel that way unless they read this blog then all I can say is sorry I exposed you. Peace out Loren

Dear Marco: Glad to hear all is well and you are moving on to Nepal. Let us know your travel plans and sticking to the "below stars accommodations" seems to be working for you. Just your style! Be safe and let's try to increase your communications on this blog! All the best, brother!

I have traveled with steve on several no/low budget journeys. I was making the suggestion as a fact. Long ago when I was just a boy traveling with steve we learn the difference between best price and last price. Just wanted to let you know I was only teasing Mr. Kass. Loren
