  1. Missing my daily zoo fix: no camels, monkeys, water buffalo, cows or elephants around! So quiet too: no millions of ppl or blaring horns!
  2. Wondering which of these categories UAE considers Flickr falling into: http://www.etisalat.ae/asse...
  3. Thought I could spend a flight delay browsing flickr, but UAE disagreed: http://bit.ly/5aWThx
  4. The wall clocks here are Rolex brand! That's Dubai Airport for you....
  5. At Dubai airport: 2.5 hrs behind me & about 15 hrs of flight time ahead of me. 30-or-so hrs of travel time in total! On no sleep :-(
  6. See y'all back in the good ol' US of A!
  7. Today: Last day in Ahmedabad, last day in India! Lots of shopping! Fun and stress. Looking forward to being home, but not the 24+-hr trip!
  8. Thurs.: 10-hour train ride on Indian Railways back to Ahmedabad. Very tiring, but not as bad as we had feared.
  9. Wed.: Day in Jodhpur - amazing medieval Fort of the Maharajas - spectacular!
  10. Tues.: Drove to Jodhpur via Pushkar -- spiritual town popular w/ hippies. Lots of flies, touts,& 'priests' wanting money for blessings.
  11. 'Madam, madam, pashmina, wall hanging, saree? What you like? Come inside, just 1 minute, free to look. Give me 1 min" (Repeat 500x = bazaar)
  12. Explored bazaars of Jaipur afternoon: kilometers of stalls with aggressive vendors -- have to steel yourself for the experience beforehand!
  13. Had huge Rajasthani Thali (stainless tray with little dishes, from soup to dessert) for lunch: http://bit.ly/33D0NN
  14. Jaipur's Amber Fort was amazing: red sandstone battlements, courtyards, mosaics, mirrored palace rooms.
  15. The elephant sneezed twice -- spewing big sneeze drops all over me, my glasses, my camera lens - yikes!
  16. In Jaipur, Rajasthan today... rode an elephant uphill to Amber Fort -- not as easy as I expected!
  17. Also visited Agra Fort (incredible) and Fatehpur Shikri, fascinating abandoned town built by Emperor Akbar ~1570
  18. Visited Taj Mahal at dawn yesterday -- breathtaking... words simply cannot do it justice. Taj slowly vanished into mist/fog like a ghost.
  19. Super-excited about visiting Taj Mahal! Weather here in Agra is bad though (grey, might rain), so there won't be real good pics :-(
  20. Today, flew Bangalore to Delhi, met private driver for 5-hr drive to Agra. Saw grey ghost of Taj Mahal in the dusk/fog/smog - incredible.
