Our last dinner at Bangalore was special. As usual, the cook made an excellent meal, but it was not the food that made this dinner special. Rather, it was the after dinner entertainment. Three of our Tibetan translators serenaded the group with a selection of Tibetan songs. One song was an adaptation of “This Land is Your Land” and another was a Tibetan version of “We Shall Overcome.” Kelly videoed some of the singing and it should be fun to watch the Tibetan Trio again.
Dinesh, the driver who took us into Bangalore city, was right on time. He arrived at the Tibetan Children’s Village College at 10 pm sharp to take us to the airport for our trip back to Seattle. The drive to the airport took about 1.5 hours and although the nighttime traffic was better than daytime traffic, the ride was still a bit harrowing. Nevertheless, we arrived at the Bangalore airport with plenty of time to check-in for our 2:30 am (yes, 2:30 in the morning) flight.
