One Year Ago.

One year ago today we were boarding a plane for one of the most amazing trips of my life.  We were headed to INDIA!!  If you want to read about it, I did blog about our experience as we traveled, updating with photos from our point and shoot camera.  Here are the links in order:

Mumbai
Gujarat
From Gujarat to Uttar Pradesh
From Agra to Paradise in Rishikesh
Happy Holi!
From Jungle to Jungle
I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts!

Please come look at all my favourite photos from the trip:
Part 1
Part 2

Here's just a taste...
ps: all the animals photographed here are wild! If you read the blog entries I tell you all about the times in the jungle!

Twenty Four Hours To Go


Honeymoon, here we come!! Okay, so it's officially 24 hours until we check in at the airport. My husband and I are off to London for one week, and then to India!! Our first week in India we'll be staying with a family that has a farm in Gujarat. They grow potatoes, tobacco and mangoes. I will get to eat a perfectly ripe mango right off the tree! After the farm we'll be heading off to see the rest of India. We'll go North then all the way East and then all the way South and then back up North to Mumbai. We're not entirely sure the root we'll take, but we do know we'll be going into the jungle on elephants to see Bengal Tigers and rhinos and lions! We're hoping to see baby sea turtles hatching too. There have been blue whale sitings in Orissa! What I would do to see a blue whale...they are like the brontosaurus of today...sooooooo big! Aside from the landscapes and wildlife (which is my favourite part) we'll get a taste of the big overwhelming cities. I have been to Buenos Aries, I have been and lived in London...but I hear that Mumbai is something else. I can't wait. The people, the bright colours, the culture, the food, the warmth!! It's all too much. I will update with photos and stories when I can!
