26. Last day in Aizawl

Another great day spent in this beautiful place. Didn't sleep as well last night and was awake early . Laid awake a long time thinking about all the wonderful people here. Had breakfast and then met with Thangtei and Rev Chalhnuna at the church. Went to the market with them both and was able to pick up a couple of things to give them. We had coffee together and then went to Lawma's wifes family and was given more shawls . Heidi and Peter, I am lugging some things home for you!
I literally had to buy another duffle bag to bring home all the gifts I have been given . The people here are so giving . Much too generous .
I rested and packed a little in the afternoon and then was invited for dinner at Rev Zalianthanga's, where his daughter prepared a delicious meal. I think that Thangtei also helped  to prepare the meal. Rice, fish , curry chicken , salad ....everything was so tasty and i was so full after I could barely move. We had a great time together and I am so blessed to have such great friends.
Trying desperately to stuff everything in the suitcases and bags I have. Will be heading to the local airport, Lengpui, at 0930 tomorrow. Then on to Kolkata for tomorrow night - slightly unplanned but nevertheless I will be there. I expect by the time I get there I will likely just settle in to the hotel for the night. Unless things have changed greatly, Kolkata (Calcutta) is not a city that I really want to do a lot of sight seeing by myself .
