Hello from Navsari

Hi everyone,

Back to technology, at last. Sort of.   We’re in an Internet cafe in  Navsari, but I cannot post photos now because the USB  and CD drives are welded shut, so I cannot transfer photos from my laptop to the computers.

The wedding was nothing short of spectacular.  Four days of  ceremonies, traditional singing, dancing, and eating.  I cannot wait to share some photos.  So far, I have shot over  2200 images on this trip, and have hardly begun editing.  Most of the editing will probably be done back in the States.

Today, we are leaving Navsari and heading to Surat to stay awhile at Gopal’s aunt’s place. We’re staying in Surat until the 9th, and then taking the train to Mumbai (Bombay) , where we will sight-see until we catch our plan that night.

Hope all is well, and hopefully I can post some more photos before I leave India.

Thanks for reading.


Updated Tentative Schedule

Hi all,

Just to give you an update on my schedule:

The past two days, we’ve spent in Delhi.  Today we’re off to Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal. The following day we’re off to Jaipur for two days.  Then back to Delhi to fly to Surat for half a day, and then we’ll go to Navsari for the wedding for 3 days.  After the wedding, we’ll go to Mumbai (Bombay).

Shooting has been fun an interesting.  I haven’t had as much time to edit through my work as I thought I would, but I will try to keep the blog updated.  We are VERY lucky that the hotel in Delhi has internet, much less wireless.  We don’t know about Internet in any of the other places, so I’ll play it by ear and post when I can.  I hope all is well, and as always, thanks for reading.
