Its time. A new life. A new city. From tea to coffee, rain to fog, tube to car, mummy to mommy, BBC to NBC -- its a new country, a new perspective, and well, its a whole new adventure!

The Money Shot AKA the Taj Mahal

Okay, so seeing the sunrise over the Taj Mahal didn't quite work out. At 6:00 this morning, I was up, showered, dressed and ready to go...

A Digression.

Though not intended to be our official "honeymoon", Jason and I are into free stuff., and accordingly, insisted on telling all the...

A brief stop before Agra!

And a post script.

Here we are inside in the Amber Fort, having just climbed off the elephant. There is one special thing about this picture -- see that green...

Okay, the Amber Fort.

The Amber Fort in Jaipur. Home of the long awaited elephant ride. But before you see those pictures, you have to hear about the Fort. Ju...

More from the garden...

Okay, so this is a butt shot. I like it though because you can really see how unique and varied the tombs are. They are just stunning and ...

For Gayle.

This is just one example of the size of the magnolia trees in Lodi Gardens. My mom really likes magnolia trees, so I thought she would be i...
