Signs Along the Way: To Darjeeling and Back

I found these two signs at a scenic loop on the way to Ghum aboard a real honest-to-goodness train with a steam engine.









The train station sign for Ghum. "Ghum" is the Bangla word for sleep. I don't know about Hindi but sometimes it would be nice to live in a town called "sleep".








The puppy my sons fell in love with at the quaint tea stall in Ghum.








We never dined here but I did like their sign. The food in Darjeeling was quite good . . . especially the Indian food at the Thai place and the momos almost everywhere except for the place where Marita found a cockroach in the dough.







There are all sorts of crafts in Darjeeling but they all seem to be from other parts of India, Nepal or Tibet. There were some nice local knitted items and two fair trade shops with locally made handicrafts.







An announcement to humans that the animals prefer quiet. At the zoo.







I thought about signing up for this hardcore course if for nothing else, for personality development.







This big cloth poster had seen its better days although I probably like it now better than the original. It kind of shows up advertising for what it is . . .
