India Vacation Pics

I know I said that I wasn't going to post pictures until we got back to Iowa, but I got antsy to share. I love pics and these are so much fun (although not the best we have - I have to hold on to something). We have taken something like 800, and I narrowed it down to 10. Here are some of the highlights of our trip so far.
Our niece and Narasimha, the first day we got here - on the terrace above Narasimha's parent's house.

My sister, me, my sister's friend, and Narasimha - riding on the back of a bicycle rickshaw - in New Delhi as we were sightseeing.

All 4 of us, during our elephant safari. I look so bad because this was the day I was sick.

Narasimha and I - at a castle in Jaipur.

All 4 of us at the Taj Mahal (in Agra).

Narasimha, our nephew, and I - flying a kite together for the holiday on the neighbor's roof in Hyderabad.

Narasimha drinking the coconut water straight from the source - at Narasimha's dad's factory.

The girls in our Punjabi suits, at the farm. We found these lovely flowers that smelled just like perfume, and later found out they are called Oleanders. They are just beautiful!

We 3 girls, with my nephew and niece, and our new friends :)

Narasimha, me, the girls, Narasimha's brother, and our nephew and niece (you can't see her because she's asleep on the bench beside Narasimha) eating fried stuff and milkshakes at a great little ice cream shop here in Hyderabad.
