I have never been a fan of fantasy, but these books are pretty amazing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1413404863935-HZU3GPSB2PEX9X04CUVZ/IMG_6359.JPG India - Round 7 - 10/15/2014 Um, hello? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1413405058991-N2TQ2IPYCXSJRULTHW4L/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 7 - 10/15/2014 Is anyone still here? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1413406192646-810TUFQY6PXBPX4E9AZG/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 7 - 10/15/2014 Look at them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1413406280623-TL6UL2SPK648B9MTBDNB/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 7 - 10/15/2014 They are cute, but they are sure tough.

It was reserved for ladies, but they were kind enough to let us hang out until we reached the next station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415195961458-C2CWNV0IWH88YWXT8W0T/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 Hey, at least we didn't have to sit on top of the train. It could have been worse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415196018095-FAUHQK5AV5EU50K46OQ0/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 It also gave us a chance to channel our inner-canines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415196419257-RM9AI4DFPMAJ3FFRYK4N/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 The Ranka home in Jaipur.

Don't mind if I do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415197548436-KNAAY8PJ7CTRCMAZ2OSV/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 This guy sells sandwiches for 50 weeks a year, but who likes Clark Kent anyways? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415197672366-H4YZ5C6RN6KM71GMNXTE/IMG_6421.JPG India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 He reminded me of the Native American guy who sells fireworks in Joe Dirt, but he had more to offer than snakes and sparklers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415198582337-PC9JY1O8LELA6WSZTUY5/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 I'm not sure if little white girls are the target market, but I guess it worked for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415198622646-2XNH5S40QCRNTB5378YB/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 Hmm... a weird Southeast Asian, hipster, astronaut. Cool shades though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415198767933-UYQ5DXCBGEZIJFAW47GS/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 We weren't sure what size to get, so we got two of each. They all went "boom". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415199150346-RMDSFXSKY7RQ0FSQ4A3W/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 Oh, does it look comfortable? Cuz it freakin' is. I think I caught Peter off guard with this photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415199307351-TFI91NK1H06LBWZEI03B/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 This is the puja we attended. Although I don't know Hindi, it was an amazing experience and I am extremely grateful that the Rankas invited us to take part in it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415199721941-463TJWGCWIZXH0U7ZD0E/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 The Agra Fort from the outside. Can you imagine trying to scale these walls in full war regalia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415199826892-GDF1LJAOZMRYPLASWXDE/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 The fort from the inside. Being a prime example of Mughal architecture, the lines, arches, and curves were much different than the other forts we have visited throughout India. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415199997573-4DY4Y1P5LZL2ITT6MTNA/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 For a moment it was easy to imagine ourselves somewhere in the heart of an ancient Persian city surrounded by Muslim motifs and Arabic writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415200181349-6QIX3OVS7W9Q27JV92QD/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 While we generally try to avoid tourists, especially the obnoxious European and Western ones who feel the need to dress themselves in traditional Indian garb, for once we felt right at home among the thousands of people who traveled across the world to see India's biggest tourist attraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415200622313-VTHM16QMMBHBVNV6WTYM/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 This would be a great shot if someone's head wasn't covering half of the main dome. Dang it, BJ. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415200779635-60M35MRDJQJTRV32LB1T/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 So. Much. Marble.

But as I walked up and touched it, I realized that it is all made of inlaid black marble. WOW! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415201000019-NJ6KDJUAN3XTLAB7NWJ5/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 Even in the hazy pollution that blankets most of India, the views as the sun began to set were breathtaking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415201284314-XG0CFA6RV28Y0HQHCE2Y/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 A few classic tags. I can't wait to come back to India and fill the streets with my own mark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1415201371311-RYXD0S8J1Q3J4EONF1EW/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 8 - 11/5/2014 I'm not sure what this graffiti is, but for some reason I really like it. http://www.mrjacksonenglish.net/india/2014/11/21/round-9 monthly 0.5 2017-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1416580088454-CEYQHDH3HK4ST1U2V39V/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 9 - 11/21/2014 And quite the adventure this has been. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1416581811003-ZKV7H55K46QX83Z285GN/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 9 - 11/21/2014 They are wonderful kids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1416581857467-OV8Q6OIKT4SSMX7V7FTX/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 9 - 11/21/2014 And I am forever grateful for the lessons we have exchanged in our short time together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1416582449430-AG075010I146GEWWE510/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 9 - 11/21/2014 How could you not miss that face? Dirty nose and all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1416582611271-5HWYDGPZQA1ROG4B3DUS/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 9 - 11/21/2014 Especially after seeing this sad excuse for a mammal every day. Peter and I call him Rattyena- a disgusting mixture of a rat and a hyena all rolled into one mangy ball of terror. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a71009e4b01786c9212af6/1416583256591-VV8YSRGSJHCHCVLU8C54/image-asset.jpeg India - Round 9 - 11/21/2014 Mmmm, chai.
