India + Gary + Rupees = Adventure!

So Gary and I started our whirlwind India adventure on the 23rd. We first went to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. It is much bigger than I had imagined. This picture taken by a local is the only thing I got for free.

After an overnight train ride, we arrived in Udaipur - the Venice of India! It is supposed to be a lake city. Unfortunately, like everywhere else in northern India, drought wins and the lake is nearly dry. That actually made getting around easier since we did not need to hire a boat. (in the photo) We walked across the grassy lake from the right above my pierced ear all the way out of the left side of the picture. We then found a gondola type ride up to the top of the ridge we are standing on. Today we are in Jaipur, the pink city.
