Some Pics from India

---

Okay, so I'm cheating a little and not doing an up-to-the-moment blog. Here are some pictures of my trip with Tiggy to India from a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to post these, but couldn't while I was there. Also, I know that some of you were worried because we arrived in Indonesia yesterday right when the bombings happened. All is fine. Some Indonesians have been very sweet and welcoming because of the bombings, and as soon as they learn we are Americans, they shake our hands and say that they don't want us scared off. I don't feel unsafe at all. We're in Bali in a very quiet little port town waiting for our ferry to the Gili Islands. The next week at the island should be wonderful!

Lovely Ladies Patting my Cheek
So many of the Indian women impressed me. Here is one woman in route to patting my cheek.

Ceremonies at Night
The fires here are bodies being cremated. People come to Varanasi to die.

The Ganges
The holiest river and the most polluted. The water is now septic.

On the Train Again
We did about three of these overnight trips on the train.

Street Outside our Hostel
Not pretty, but that is how it is in most of New Delhi.

An Ashram Where the Beatles Stayed
They wrote most of the songs for the White Album here.

Sweat Stains
Check out this white line. That's from walking around one afternoon. It was soo hot. 47 plus.

Now the trip to India seems real and surrealistic at the same time. The one of the lady patting your check made me cry... too sweet. xo mama
