A memorable trip

[Guest guest]

SSS!

All,

First thanks to all the hosts (Kiran/Monica, Sree/Praveena and

Srinivas) (hostesses - especially for the great food and meticulous

planning... Monica/Jwala and Praveena).With details of where to go,

who should stay in whose house - a good timetable as a whole,

definitely a key for the rest of trip organisers to follow.

 

Let me tell you, it was a huge crowd! With 2 minivans and 3 cars

filled with people of all age groups, (making Baba the youngest

- since Anjana made her two month old girl an elder sister to Baba)

it was full of fun and frolic. The drivers had most fun driving as

well as missing the vehicle leading ahead. 3 days and 3 nights

whizzed past in tachionic speed, ofcourse, there is always dearth of

time when it comes to spending with Baba. I think Baba really had

a nice time because for ALL of us it was fabulous (literally

every person in the group got their QUOTA). There were contentions,

as you know, on who should drive Baba from Point A to B. I was lucky

enough to drive Baba as well.

 

Baba might have to take a dip in the Ganges(if there is water still!)

for getting rid of the Nivea cream (abhishekam-ed) on HIM by 4 of us

at Bala's place. I literally saw Baba sleep only for few hours,

as He is the last to go to bed and first to wake up. Baba spoke at

length to all at the Centennial Hall, Hayward, CA, as well as at

individual houses. He gave some astonishing information which Chapan

had shared in his latest mail.

 

29th Monday:

Baba did Nithya Homam at Balakrishna Sarma's place and Q & A session

followed, took some rest and then we departed around 4pm to

Golden Gate Bridge. The drive was pretty neat,quite contrasting to the

peak hour traffic. We walked for a short distance on the bridge

(snaps to follow) and drove to Crooked Street, China town and headed

back to Praveena's place. Baba had some visitors who were brought

by a couple of first-timers who came to Centennial hall. I left

unwillingly around 9pm to catch my flight.

 

I will try to get the snaps developed soon and post it.

 

PS: Any left outs? - pl. fill in
