FACES AND PLACES

I've just returned from a lovely trip to Manila to visit family for three weeks, and a memorable tour of Kathmandu and India (Varanasi, Agra, Jaipur, New Delhi) for almost two weeks, including a 3-day visit with our friend, Aman, in Delhi.  So much culture to appreciate and absorb, not to mention all the shopping I "allowed" myself to do.

The crowded streets were a stage for the daily routine of people, their motor bikes, elephants, camels, cows, dogs, goats, tuk-tuks, bicycles, etc.  It felt like being in the midst of a huge celebration.  But what fascinated me most were the mixture of different faces and colorful costumes around me.  What a treat!
