Welcome home! Glad you are safely home. Sorry about the illness at the end. I HATE those experiences! Wonderful travelblog. I loved the handsome little camel gang! Greetings from Missouri. I'm in Independence until the 16th.
And what Christmas gift did you bring home for YOUR camel?
Siwa's Christmas Surprises from Pushkar David wants to know what Siwa will be getting for Christmas...maybe we will do a Christmas Blog Special with photos of Siwa with all his new accoutrements! There may have been a suitcase full of decorations just for Siwa!!
Neat Love your do rags! What an interesting place. Did you go to the border and watch the changing of the guards? We heard from fellow travelers that this is really something to see.
I suppose you are winging your way to the States by now. Get ready for cold weather by Monday! Nancy
looks familiar We too loved this drive. We thought Jaipur was the cleanest city we visited in India. Not that this would take much. Didn't you find the Amber fort absolutely breathtaking? N
The places you go and the people you meet! Amazing! Give me tips on how to arrange a marriage for my daughter! Actually, I think she's probably doing fine making her own choices, but I've been tempted. Very interesting to talk to my Asian friends about their arranged marriages. Travel well. DRB
Gorgeous scarves on the wedding crashers Not that it is all about me, but is there the possibility that the handsome scarf worn by Roy was given to him by his older sister. Please, please let it be so. On topic, what a wonderful unexpected adventure.
Dad's Aviator Scarf Yes, Christy you are correct. The scarf you spotted around dad's neck is the one you gave him. I wore it many times in this country of scarves/shawls/excellent textiles. I also wore it when we went to the holy lake for Uncle Ray.
So jealous! Looks like a great time. And what fortune to have made such great friends that you got invited to a wedding!! Miss you and can't wait to see all of you. Your camel is crazy, by the way. Not sure what got into him the other night, but I assume he just misses you like crazy.

Jodphur, India and jodphur trouser style Recall that Dad was wearing jodphur trousers in his photograph with his Denver Grand Champion? Well, I wondered if there might be a relationship between the name and the city of Jodphur, India. There is! I pulled the following from Wikipedia, "...They originate from an ancient style of Indian trouser called the Churidar, which is tight around the calf and baggy at the hips, still worn at traditional Jodhpury weddings.[2] This is a special traditional style of clothing in Northern India, especially in what is today the modern state of Rajasthan, which has its capital at the city of Jaipur. Sir Pratap Singh, a younger son of the Maharaja of Jodhpur, popularised in England the style of riding-trousers worn in Jodhpur, a design that he apparently improved and perfected by himself and first tailored in India about 1890.[3][4]"
Watch Party Attendees Dad attended the K-State Watch Party, but he may have been a late arrival...he may have shown up when the game was no longer in question!!
tough life Sorry to see you guys having to rough it on this trip:-). Cheer loudly for KSU today or in your case tomorrow? I will be sick if they lose and OU ends up champs:-(. It was 54 degrees this morning! No rain but it felt and looked like it should have been raining. Nancy
uncle Ray lifted up in India Lifting up Uncle Ray everyday and then to learn you did it with flowers on a lake on another continent. Feels almost sacred.
