A street sign warning wives to keep quite so their husbands can drive lends insight to the frequency with which women in India actually sit behind the wheel themselves. Nancy and Chanda receive many curious looks when people see a Discovery expedition vehicle being piloted by a woman.

| Notes: Completed crossing of Nagaland and bid our escorts a sad farewell at the border with Assam. The team continued to Guwahti, dodging such obstacles as cows, goats, bikes, chickens, buses, trucks, pedicabs, and people. In Guwahati, the team met up with Take Me With You! guest Matt Candelaria, who will be our teammate for the next month or so. Welcome aboard, Matt. You’re a breath of fresh air! (N.O.) | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
