New Delhi's Spring - we checked out the Mughal Gardens (open only 1 month per year)





Gandhi's Salt March statue

One section of the Mughal Gardens with Parliament building in the background

Another quiet stroll through the garden...

And the fight to reclaim my purse after our walk...surely there is a better system

Scenes from Varanasi






Making our lassis

Sadhus of India









Chai walla

Something we will miss about India...the tea stalls on the street. You can tell the good ones by the large crowds always waiting for their tea. One gets a hot cup of freshly brewed chai tea and drinks it there...it's a lovely tradition



Tea served in earthen mugs that you throw away after

Same guy, different view...his was the best of the bunch along the Ganges riverbank in Varanasi. Sold out by 7:00AM



Need I say more?


Seattle's Big Dig

Becky participated in the Viaduct to Tunnel fun run during her trip back to Seattle on the eve of opening the new tunnel that will replace the double-decker highway running along Seattle's waterfront. 

8km through the brand new tunnel, back along the elevated viaduct and through the old tunnel. Super fun! (although sore for days...turns out spin cycling doesn't do anything for your running muscles) 

First through the brand new tunnel

Along the elevated viaduct 

And through the old tunnel 

See anything you recognize? 

A star performer...Space Pirates!


Amritsar, third post, new face
