Some Pics at Last

Hello Loyal Readers!

Finally I have found a computer to upload some of my India pictures. I know that this a bit late and I have many more stories from a great week in Rome with the family, but those will have to wait a couple of days. Here are some of my favourite pics from India:

Yes, McDonalds is even in India. I even at there. Instead of Big Macs, they have Maharaja Macs and they have chicken instead of beef (since cows are sacred and cannot be killed). They also do home delivery of McDonalds in India.
This is a bit gross. Everywhere in the hotel I stayed in while in Mumbai, they had these buckets for people to spit into and when I looked it one it was about 3/4 full. I was nearly sick and I cant get the image out of my head, so I have decided to share it with you.

A picture of Liz and I on the cramped conditions on the trains. We are playing cards on the top bunk while about 12 people shared the bench below us. One of them took this pic. We look at a little worse for wear after 23 hours on the train, but not too bad.

Me at the Taj Mahal. So awsome. The marble is so white that it hurts your eyes when the sun hits it. Though apparently pollution has dulled it somewhat. I cannot imagine what it was like before. Definitely one of the most amazing structures I have ever seen.

One of the monkeys from the Monkey Palace in Jaipur. This is a view of the city from the palace where we watched the sunset.
Another great sunset. This time from the Monsoon Palace in Udaipur (and featured in Octopussy as the home of the villan). Note the Indian-style clothing I am wearing.
This is a picture of Jodhpur, the Blue City. It is amazing how bright the blue is. It comes from the special stuff they mix into the concrete to ward off termintes. Also, blue is the colour of the brahman (or priest) caste in India.
A self-take from the camel. Quite the trek we were on.

This is my camel called Rocket. He was a grumpy guy.

Hope you enjoyed a sampling of the pictures. One day I will have to print off all of my pictures to show people and on that day I will go broke because I have so many.

Happy New Year Everyone!
