Day 132 - Toronto - 15th December 2004 We dropped the boys off at school, did my juggling lesson with Julian's class and headed into Toronto. Mum arrived over the weekend. We went to the Indian Embassy and spent most of the day depositing papers and passports in order to obtain visas to visit my sister in New Dehli. Mum is going to visit them out there during February and we thought it was a good idea to get tooled up as well. I makes you really think how lucky we are not to live in a culture where rudeness and unhelpfulness is the norm. Mostly we are curteous to each other and do not treat fellow human beings as pieces of dirt. We can often even smile at each other. Some other cultures do not value these qualities as we do, even when they are on very public display in a foreign host nation. Quite an eye opener to get a taste of what it must be like to live in India without even being there. Perhaps we are just too soft. Anyway we left all the passports up there with a promise that they would be ready by Monday afternoon. We fly on Tuesday. Lets just say it is cutting it a bit fine. We're taking bets ..... Tonight we went to our last home church group meeting. They had made us a Bon Voyage cake. It is very sad to say goodbye to them all. We have been so welcomed and enjoyed great fellowship together. We have laughed so much it made us cry. There were prayers for our travels amongst others and gifts for the boys. What did we do to deserve all this?
