Pushkar through Dharamshala.....

Pushkar was where Ang and I were sick....we both really wanted to have a TV in our room and to  just spend some time getting healthy. The room we checked into didn't have a TV - however, after several requests they were quick to bring in this little ditty and hook it up. We watched more "Simpson's" and 'How I met your Mother"....then I will ever in my life...

When we checked into our hotel in Jaipur- there was a huge hole in the bathroom- see above. I was insistent that a rat could get through the hole and thought maybe they could at least tape it. I realized when the hotel-guy came up with a roll of scotch tape that there was some serious lost-in-translation. Oh India.

Just another example of safety....

Pictures of the Taj Mahal.

My holiday card that never got printed or sent....

Ang touching the top of the Taj Mahal.

Life on the river in Varanasi....

Boarding the plane to Amritsar- I think this is the 16th guy to check my ticket. By the time you get to the plane- at least that many people have checked your ticket and passport...so, is it really necessary to check it again?

Golden Temple in Amritsar.

Golden Temple- people eating for free in the temple...a very cool scene to experience.

We toured a temple that was like a fun-house. There were mirrors, candy being given away....but the WORST part was that you had to wade through water at one point! AHHHH! I nearly died....this is me about to step into the weird water to continue through the temple.

A woman doing prostrations in a temple in Dharmasala- they do this for hours as a form of worship- looks like  a great workout!

Rocks around Dharmasala....very colorful!

 Dharamshala has many Tibetan people living there after leaving China- it is a very cool culture.

Our last night in Dharamshala- our electricity went out ( this was not a big surprise)- so we entertained ourselves by making animals on the wall in the shadows....What WAS a big surprise is when our electricity flicked on and then off again- our TV blew up in our room. There was smoke and we had to call the owner to come and take a look.
