India!

Unfortunately I wasn't really able to blog as much as I wanted while in India because either the internet was slow or I didn't have access to a computer. I actually ended up typing my blog on Brandon's computer but never posting it.

This trip to India was definitely an interesting experience we got so see so many different people, religions, and cultures in just one country.

Our first day in India we were able to meet Vinay Rai who helps fund several trips and schools in India and is funding part of our stay and food. We also say many tombs, including Humayun's Tomb. We also went to see the Lotus temple, Delhi Observatory, and the Akshardham temple. The Akshardham temple was so beautiful and so much amazing craftmanship could be seen throughout the temple, unfortunately we were not able to take our cameras into the temple and there was alot of security we had to go through in order to even get into the temple.

We were also able to ride both auto and bike rickshaws while in India. Several of us also rode elephants up the Amber Fort.

The Taj Mahal was amazing and I really enjoyed visiting the Taj, especially since I had done my class project on the form and meaning of the Taj Mahal.

I'm glad I was able to go and experince India, its culture, monuments, and food.
