Sorry it's been such a long time since our last post. We left the land of yoga (and no we didn't swim in the Ganges) and headed to Orchha and Kajuraho. We were back in the mood for temples, forts and palaces and these are some of the most spectacular in India.
Kajuraho is infamous for the carvings of erotica.....and come on, how could I come to India and NOT see ancient porn? You know you would if you were here!
The temples are spectacular. I promise to post a few pictures when we are back in the states.
In Orchha we went to our first Indian/Irish wedding. We were shopping in a bangle shop when a white woman came in and started talking with the owner. Over a cup of chai we learned that Denise -- the Irish woman -- had just married Loyal -- the Indian guy. Anyway, long story short, their wedding party was a few days later and we rangled ourselves an invitation. Not really a traditional Indian wedding by any stretch of the imagination, but we had a good time!
Now we are back in Delhi for a few days of last minute shopping. We head back to the good ol' U.S. of A. tomorrow evening so that we can eat some cranberries and stuffing with the family.
Dan and I are still in a bit of denial that we are at the END of our trip!
We'll do a few more posts from Buffalo with a whole bunch of pictures....so stay tuned for more blogging.
