Quick Sharing

So, we just got back from our travels yesterday. I don't have time to write a long post or give deep reflections on things, but I did want to share some of the pictures of India. I hope you guys enjoy them.
At dinner at our hotel in Delhi.

The streets of Delhi: Anything and everything can fit on whatever sized motor vehicle.

Tok-tok

Val and his camera

Liz!

Linda and Jim. We are all getting ready to go to the Taj Mahal.

The main gate


The dome of the Taj



 Tommy, holding it up.

 Hey, that's me!



 A close up of the flower design and scriptures from the Koran around the front arch-- all of this is inlaid by hand into the best marble in the world with semi-precious stones.


 One of the four towers

 Through the trees

 Still at the Taj-- there is a wrap around hall, connecting the four gates, and surrounding the courtyard of the Taj.


 Riding a camel!



 Qutub Minar. This ancient site from the 300s AD was used as a defensive tower to see if any armies were marching against the city. Val has more great shots of this place as my camera ran out of battery while there! :(


 Sweeping the streets.

 Either rice or wheat fields.

 At school


 Village church, worshipping.

 Home-Farm



 This is a small Hindu shrine.


 More rice, I think.

If you look closely, you can see a distant lady farming.
