As promised, some pix of our recent trip to Allahabad for the Conference. On this first post three of the city itself. On the top right is a snap taken through the windscreen of our jeep. It shows something of the congested chaos of the traffic. Unlike the M25 though, it all keeps moving - all of it, all of the time. And somehow nobody seems to get killed. Rule of the road seems to be - keep going where you want to go, no matter who is in the way and they'll get out of the way.

This second one is of the Ganges bank and a little of the huge open space which accomodates 30 M people every 12 years. Next one 2013 if you fancy coming. Long queue for the toilets at times. You can just see some of the many boats which ply a trade taking worshippers out and the rubbish at the fringe of the waters.
The light shirted figure at the left is Immanuel, a TLM counsellor from the far South of India, it took him nearly three days to arrive here. Next to him is Rev Job, with whom we co-facilitated.

This one is of Nehru's House, as mentioned in the earlier post.
