The Sweet Hereafter

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!

We are charmed by Singapore!

Singapore is a contrast in all things new and old, Western and Asian. Its lovely and clean city, and despite all my fears about how insane...

A Taste of Singapore.

Before we are off to bed. This afternoon we headed over to Chinatown in Singapore. There, we stumbled up the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and...

Welcome to Singapore.

I had the flash on my camera turned off, and apparently my editing skills aren't what they used to be. But I am running out of internet...

Thr Grounds from the Hotel in Jaipur!

Our hotel used to be a Mughal palace. These are a couple of pictures from the grounds. It was a resort really. There was lots to do in th...

City Life

We were hesitant on videoing through the cities and villages in India. This is a drive-by image of one of the villages we drove through. W...

More India!

This is a video of the gardens surrounding Humayun's Tomb. If you notice I am in the shade, recovering. This is to become a bit of the...

The Money Shot AKA the Taj Mahal

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!

This is Fatehpur Sikri. A confession -- we had no idea what this was until our driver told he would stop there so we could walk around. We...

Our last stop before the pool.

City Palace, Jaipur. From Jason: Occupying the heart of Jai Singh II's city, the City Palace has been home to the rulers of Jaipur sinc...

From Jason.

We are still at the Amber Fort. Jason says this is called Ganesh Pol. Its a gateway that leads to the private state apartments built in 16...

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...

So, I don't like elephants. In fact, I am completely creeped out by their skin. If you have a fear of paper bags, pret napkins or card...

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...

I have so much to catch you up on!

First, we loved Jaipur! I am surprised to say that -- but truly, it was such a wonderful place. But before we get there, I have to show you ...

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 ...
