Indian Santa
Way behind on posting photos. Several days ago, while on the road to Jaipur, we came across a Santa Claus directing us off to a rest area off of the highway. Thought it was an interesting find. More photos, specifically of the wedding, to come…
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.
Mumbai Airport and Delhi
Hi all,
It’s been an interesting past couple of days full of jet lag and culture shock. I don’t have much time to post. The goal of this blog is not to show a typical tourist viewpoint, but without further ado, here are some (hopefully not typical tourist) photos:
Gopal’s aunt, Saroj Sonwadiwala, at Mumbai airport
Worker at a shoe locker outside Birla Mandir temple in Delhi.
Our driver, one brave soul. Driving in Delhi is interesting, as everybody ignores the lanes and lights.
The Lotus Temple, Delhi.
I’ll post more later. Hope all is well, and thanks for reading. Comments are welcome.
