Tonya2

Already off to a good start.

So I’m a bit intimidated by what little research I’ve done on Tokyo – it’s “gi-normous” as my nephews would say. I know I have very little time – and even less patience – about being lost and losing precious…

Last Day in Delhi

With Agra and Jaipur behind me, Monday the 22nd was to be my last day in India. I spent the day in Delhi – both New and Old – taking snaps of the various sites. We began the day heading…

Jaipur – The Pink City

I fly out tonight at midnight, so I won’t be posting again until I wrap this up when I’m back in Tennessee. Hope you have enjoyed..Oh, my goodness. After a terribly long drive back from Agra last night, I woke…

“I want to make big hug with you”

Best proposition I’ve had in a couple of years… 🙂 I continued my worldwide tour today from Jaipur, with this newfound “celebrity status” still intact. I took a picture of a 14-15 year old boy atop a camel. An hour…

Agra – Home of the Taj Mahal

Had to lead out with this. It may be one of my most interesting snaps yet. (And I know the nephews will love it…) No worries – I was safely tucked inside my car and thankful for a reasonably powerful…

Lions and Tigers and Bears… oh my!

Changes of plans often turn out for the best. Remember how I said yesterday that I was having a princess-moment? Well today, I was the princess! My planets were all aligned. (Where the heck’s that King?!) This morning I attended…

Mysore (it’s all sore!)

I’m petitioning the local government to change the name to My___sore, so we tourists can just fill it in. Myfeetsore (from walking barefoot through the palace), Myheadsore (from all the blaring horns), Mybacksore (from a fits&jerks drive from Bangalore)… The…

Reeeeeeeeeee-united! And it feeeeels so goood…..

If you don’t remember this Peaches & Herb classic, then you’re too young to be reading this adult-only blog. (Just kidding, Jackson and John!) So I’m replacing “Nope, Nyet, Nada” with “Yes! Oui! Si-si! After my first week at the…
