| Our welcoming party |

| Whispering in Ganesh's ear.... |
We arrived at Chennai, India early in the morning of October 22 to a welcoming party of musicians on the dock. Security in India is very tight, so before the ship could be cleared by immigration, we had to appear individually and present our passport and visa information. Passports were checked frequently by port security officers as we left or returned to the ship.

| Ganesh, the remover of obstacles |
I went on a City Orientation tour on the first day that visited several churches and temples, as well as a fort built by the British that now houses government buildings for the Tamil Nadu province. The Hindu temple was the most interesting stop for the day. The Hindu elephant-headed god Ganesh is considered the "remover of obstacles" and it is good luck to whisper a wish in his ear. At the temple I whispered that Tina have a safe trip to Singapore!
