Well, we are back. Gosh, where do I begin about India? It’s like no place I have ever visited. Noisy, crowded, colorful, intriguing, sad, dirty. Everyday was interesting. The Indian people were very friendly and we stayed in some truly lovely places. I’ve got hundreds of photos. I’m going to try and figure out where to put them so that anyone who is interested can have a look.
By the way, we used a company called Authentic India Travel for our trip which was great. It gave us a very good overview of India and we saw the well known and some places not often visited. Here are a few photos I took from our first few days there.


This was a very typical site-guy on front in his helmet, woman behind in her sari and no helmut.


We visited many forts and palaces. This was taken inside a temple through a decorative screen.


I was especially taken with the camels. They were often decorated, sometimes with necklaces. This one had his mouth area colored. Don’t they look arrogant?


These two had even been shaved with tatoo looking marks.


Of course, no trip to this part of India is complete without a trip to the Taj Mahal. We got up at 6 AM, were first in line and first to take photos so we had no people in our shots which was cool.


This shot was behind the Taj Mahal where there was a mist coming up off of the water there.
