Rajasthan - The Land of Majarajas
We are now with the Palace on Wheels, a beautiful train similar to the pictures everyone has seen of the Oriental Express. When we boarded the train, they put a turban on Mark. I will post that picture later! Needless to say, it made a lot of Indians happy. There are 52 compartments on board with little elegant bedrooms, and two restaurants, a saloon/bar, and several sitting areas. We are with people from all over the world. We spent the night traveling from Delhi, heading southwest, to the town of Jaipur, which is the capital of Rajasthan, and where we are spending the day sightseeing. We went on an elephant ride which took us to the top of a big hill where we toured a beautiful old Amber Fort.
It is an amazing place, just driving down the streets is a feast for the eyes, of colors, and sounds and so much see.
We will post pictures at later date. But we are having a wonderful time. This trip, so far, has been well worth it!

A Day in Delhi
We spent a couple of days touring around this amazing city. The weather is very hot and steamy, and I think our favorite thing was taking an exhilarating rickshaw ride through the old city market. The colors sounds and smells were incredible. We are having a wonderful time, and this afternoon we will board the Palace on Wheels. That will be 7 days of more exciting adventures. Hopefully we can post another blog along the way.

A Passage To India
I have always wanted to travel to India, and this Sunday my chance will finally come.
Mark and I will be there from October 5th to the 19th. Hopefully I will be able
to find a few internet cafe spots along our journey to post a few words and hopefully some pictures. We are excited to see this amazing and many faceted country. I have been vaccinated and we are both packed and ready to go. After a 15 hour flight from New York to Delhi, we will update this post!
