India Photos

 

HI Friends,  Here are some photos from our time in India.. for more dialogue please see later posts from when I was in India and could only write and not post very many pictures.  If you are looking to see photos of every monument we saw you may be disappointed.. here are a mix of what we did but mostly the people and the experiences which hold such a special place in my heart. India is a country full of colour, life, and moments that truly needed to be experienced in the moment.  

 

To see the pics in big (no captions) just click on the first one and a slideshow will open up.
