Shantiniketan Field Trip

While Peter and Rosie were enjoying Darjeeling, 6 of us took the Shantiniketan Exress on Sunday, 13th November. We spent an hour at the Tagore museum and saw an international photo exhibition, an hour in the Boner Pukur Santal village where Yvonnick took tons of photos, and an hour at Amar Kutir buying knick-knacks and having chai in bhanrs – clay pots. Yvonnick is now in Darjeeling and will probably bump into Peter and Rosie and they can buy chocolates and Sikkimese Paan Liqueur!
