Hello all!
Just a quick post while I am at the internet cafe waiting for a night train to Varanasi, said to be one of the oldest cities in the world!
Brad and I are currently in India, and are enjoying ourselves immensely. We flew into Delhi from Bangkok. We have seen the Sikh Golden Temple in Amritsar, where we enjoyed free accommodation and free meals! A great experience. We went to the desert town of Bikaner and spent three days on a camel safari. Not the most comfortable animal to travel on, but fun of course. We headed further south to the town of Jodhpur, where we stayed in a small guesthouse and celebrated the Hindu holiday of Diwali with the family that owns the house. Amazing. Then to Udaipur, famous for its lake palace where scenes from James Bond's Octopussy were filmed. It is a beautiful town. Then to Jaipur, the capitol of Rajasthan, for a brief stop and a visit to an old for on a hilltop which rewarded us with views of the city. We now find ourselves in Agra, the home of the incredible Taj Mahal. Seeing it was spectacular, more than I can put into words.
India has a lot to offer, and we are trying our best to absorb it all. Unfortunately, wi-fi hasn't caught on in this country so photo uploads and blog updates aren't so simple. I'll do my best working with what I can.
We miss everyone and hope all is well. Oh, and happy early Thanksgiving to everyone!
