wonderful pics Lee! the prose accompanying your photos is art in itself. sorry to hear about the mud butt.... take care to the both of you and we miss you lots, JJ

We are both doing much better, except I now have a stopped up sweat gland in my armpit, which is AWESOME. No more mud butt though, JJ.

Got here via Newley Purnell's site. (Now only if I could remember where I found HIM...) Love the panoramas! I'm so envious. My guy and I have been back for 6 months from our RTW trip, and we're longing to hit the road again.

Hi, Ellen from San Francisco, here. Just stumbled onto your website - my husband and I were in India at roughly the same time as you, and hit some of the same stuff. We just got home, April 1st. Steve's also in the graphics field - special effects, and so I suspect we may have something in common - long hours and deadlines. Am I right? Love your photos - and couldn't agree more about the touts being like email spam. :-) It's weird to have to block them out - sort of stressful, but figuring out what and who, and how much to tip was our number one stressor whilst in India. Enjoy the rest of your journey - looking forward to reading more posts! Glad I found your site. Best, Ellen

Wow, what a coincidence. Tipping was a big deal for us too. I dreaded entering bathrooms simply because of the implied arrangement of tipping in exchange for papertowels, a press of the soap despenser or turn of the faucet. It's great to hear from you!

Sorry I missed this "in real time"... You're photography is great and I've linked to these pages! All the best for the rest of your trip.

Its one of the best photographs I could imagine. Trust me Taj Mahal looks better than real :) Your comments are helpful to the first time visitors to India. Wishing best to visitors to India. Enjoy your trip !
