Spotted deer

Strange to see full grown deer with spots, huh?

Wild tiger!

Our guide spotted this tiger in a pool of water. We drove around to catch up with it as it ambled along the smooth stone river basin. He stopped along his walk to mark several bushes and branches. It's a male and absolutely huge.

Tiger taking a poop

He walked across the road in front the jeep ahead of us and took a poop. Apparently he doesn't suffer from stage fright.

Resting in the road

He lounged in the road for several minutes watching us, flicking his tail about. He looked a little bored, yawned, then headed up the hillside to the left and disappeared in the brush.

Wow! Just wow.
A classmate of mine is getting laid off at Seagate because of the floods in Thailand destroyed their facilities there and all of their hard drives! Prices here are for hard drives are skyrocketing. Toyota got hit hard, too. Global centralized manufacturing: Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. Awesome travel blog. We're looking forward to you next adventure.

Very interesting, I'm impressed. Thank you so much for writing down, I could have a chance to know about India. I will never choose to go because I hated those bad guys in the tourist place, it'll just ruin my whole trip.I'll never be relaxed until I come home. I'm glad you actually having so much fresh experience. This is kind of thing you like to do. I'm very happy to hear from you.

LOVE LOVE your blogs... Keep them coming... I know it is a lot of work, but you do a wonderful job of describing the land. Years ago, I traveled Asia but it was for work, I spent some time sightseeing but just a day here or there and not really any remote places... So I love to see this - very jelious as I deal with the daily grind here in LA! Take care!! Stephanie
