Finally...the photos!

These internet connections are not reliable...we have had no USB, USB but Win98, not enough bandwidth....it's hell, I tell you, but we are still smiling :)

We are looking good, eh? :)










Bats! We saw lots of bats at the Mandu ruins and in the caves at Ajanta and Ellora







Some of the cool things we have been seeing - lots of monkeys and the trucks are all brightly painted...so you can see them coming, I guess :) and all sorts of two wheeled relics...abandoned bicycles and scooters..










There are shrines EVERYWHERE!




This was our tirewallah....he did a fab job - no problems with his fix (knock on wood :)




Jaipur: Street scenes...










Jaipur: The tower climb...




Jaipur: The hill climb, fort and views...
















Bundi: Chandigarth - painted walls and ceiling










Bundi: the view from the top of the hill (with the sunset!!!!)










Mandu: the road to Mandu










Mandu: very well preserved and maintained ruins
















Mandu: a bit retro on the cement/mortar making




Mandu: the kid wanted rupees or chocolate, but was even happier (though he didn't look it until after we showed him the photo) to have his photo taken with his spiffy bike :)





Ujjain: We went to the Shiva temple...and we were marked as people that had been to the temple (a much bigger mark than anyone else got, though :)




Ujjain: a beautiful wedding, lots of dancing :)







Ajanta: Buddhist cave art - 200 BC - 600 AD

























Ajanta: the view from above...and a waterfall at the end of the valley
