email update from Big Jack Nealon

Kathy wanted to pass along this email from Jack while on his worldwide adventure...

Hey Kath!
So great to hear from you. I truly have been having the time of my life. As of no I am in India sitting in a airport awaiting my flight to take me back to the ship. We depart tomorrow night. I've have numerous life changing experiences over the past few days. We went to the taj mahal which was beautiful. Then we flew to Varinassi, which is the oldest still inhabited city in the world. Here we spent lastnight's sun set, and this mornings sunrise on the Ganges river. The Ganges serves at a final resting place for most indians who can afford the trip. The thought is to be cremated by the river, then have the ashes spread. It truly was an amazing experience, I have hundreds of pictures. I hope everything is well and you anrt working to hard. I think about the family daily, in that, I know everyone would appreciate the ins and outs of traveling. (Hint- family trip to Ireland) tell everyone I say hello, and that I am sorry for the lag on my blog. I will be docking in singapore on the 31st. Ill talk to you soon, thanks for the email I love reading them.
Ps, it was very ironic when I saw that you emailed me. We were exploging the city if New Dehli and I saw a women and a child collecting and separating bottles and cans. I couldn't help think of all the hours we slaved away in the barn doing the same thing. It made me realize that no matter how different cultures appear they are still very similar.
Love
Jack
