Carl Lindquist, driver Balbender Singh, Sara E. McNeil, Kate Zibluk, Jack Zibluk, tour guide and fixer Saurav (Sam) Somani, Kalee Haywood and Shenetta Payne prepare for our last tour of Delhi before Kalee and Shenetta's departure in the evening. Sam and Mr. Balbender also departed our company that day.
Kalee Haywood and Shenetta Payne went home to Arkansas on Thursday, May 27. The rest of the group will be staying on a few days to do some international recruiting for Arkansas State and to prepare for next year's tour. We will be without the services of tour guide and fixer Saurav (Sam) Somani and driver Balbender Singh, who were both excellent companions and helpers. I will be posting fewer entries in subsequent days. Hear Kalee Haywood's final thoughts: Hear Shenetta Payne's final thoughts. |
Our last stop on the tour was to a Tibetan Buddhist refugee community. Since the Chinese invaded the Tibetan capital of Lhasa in 1959, many Tibetans have fled to India, including the most famous Tibetain, Tenzing Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, who lives in Dharmsala.
