From Jay:
Getting There:
We had some excitement at the CVG airport when one of the students arrived at checking with only 30 seconds to spare . I pleaded at the gate to hold off she will be here . I explained how important making the plane was for her. I think I bought her some time. Then in Paris airport one student did not have her second boarding pass. Everyone was already through security except her and I so we wandered around the airport looking for the ticket agents. Found it and got back to the group about half hour later. Pictured here is us at the Paris airport.
Day 1:
We went to a traditional outside market place in Delhi. Other picture is lobby of hotel room the royal plaza.
