More Pictures - North India

I can't seem to narrow down the pics as far as I'd like, so I will just post a lot :) North India will come today, and I'll do some extras from our time in Hyderabad tomorrow. Enjoy :)

Narasimha and I riding in the back of an auto rickshaw ("auto") - I had to sit on him because the girls were with us and it was tight :)

An open-air fish shop that we walked by in Delhi

Three girls from the top of a minna (or tower) at a mosque in Delhi - we were probably 10-15 stories up, and you can kinda see out in the background.

Narasimha and I enjoying a lassi (yogurt drink) at a restaurant in Delhi - these are the greatest!

3 girls in our open-air jeep, going toward our lodge in the tiger sanctuary. It was only probably 50 degrees (F) - and with the open top and movement, that feels chilly

A paw print of a REAL tiger - though we didn't see the tiger, we knew where it was from the warning calls of all the animals around us. We came close to seeing 3 tigers during our day or so in the sanctuary (yikes!).

Us getting on our elephant the morning of our safari - her (the elephant's) name was Lakshma.

The dense forest we saw and trekked through during our elephant safari. It was really cool.

The watchtower we stayed on for 2 hours out all by ourselves in the forest (or jungle, or whatever it was). It was probably 4 stories high, and when our driver left, he said to come down before he came back "at our own risk." We were technically looking for tigers, which we didn't see, but we did see wild boars, like a million birds, crocodiles and alligators, deer, and monkeys. Actually, one monkey climbed the tower and tried to steal my purse (not kidding).
