When Rick and Pat Gibbs set out to fulfill their 30-year dream of traveling from western Canada to the river Ganges, nothing can prepare them for the paradoxes of 21st century India. Despite terrifying traffic, appalling pollution, manipulative beggars, a stolen passport and a crippling fall, Rick and Pat are determined to be travellers, not tourists.Join them as they wander transfixed by the beauty of ancient temples, dance with a Bollywood party on a remote mountainside, and hold hands with the Dalai Lama. Among Tibetans in exile, Rick feels "a shedding of old skins, a metamorphosis. Anything is possible."And when anything is possible, the Dream becomes Reality.
