Toy Train II

Originally uploaded by smdeep

If you have been around me for even a few minutes lately you’ve probably heard about my plans to visit India.

One place I am headed to is Darjeeling, in the foothills of the Himalaya’s.

I had a very hard time picking where in India I should visit. I finally narrowed down my choices and decided that I should visit Darjeeling. The lure of tea plantations and the Himalaya’s was a huge factor, but another factor was this little train called the Toy Train. I’m not a huge railroad buff, but I knew I wanted to travel on a train in India – this one was too cool too pass up.

My mom dug up some of my old books to pass along to Matthew.

It was fun to see them. I was surprised to see what good care I took of these books.

It’s funny to this day there are a few books in this lot where I am not entirely sure that I read the full, un-abridged, no pictures version of the book.

Thanks Mom!
