Etihad Airlines

For the next 15 hours, 



...this is my home




Complete with refreshing drink...



And a TV larger than the one at home...


Goodnight everyone...

Bahai Temple

Bahai Temple, the Taj Mahal of the 21st Century...




Can you make these a bit steeper please?




Ray's last dance in India...




Finally, something familiar...


Bahai Temple





Sights around town...


Woman begging for money...of course I gave her some, she's pretty!



Learning to drive...at FIVE!!!



The Delhi Gate...



My footprints in the sand for eternity.


Last Day in Delhi

The largest mosque in Delhi...they give you a skirt and take your shoes.  I think I'll just throw away the socks instead of trying to clean them.


Climbed the 150 steps to the top...


My skirt looks better than what the women have to wear...

Delhi

No more fresh flower designs on the floor...



No more pillow menus and petifores...



No more palace views...



No more suites...



We're in room 112 at the Radisson...UGH!!!
Welcome back to reality!!!

Lunchtime

Mary had a little lamb...lamburger that is...




Can't beat the view...or the service...




View from the pool...



They put nets around the tree to keep the leaves from falling on you while you sunbathe...




The entertainment at the pool...


The City Palace

Visited the City Palace today...second largest in India...


Leaving OUR palace...



I'm pretty sure that's what MY aura looks like...



View of one palace from the other...




I find myself following cows for no apparent reason...

Lake Palace

Arriving by boat to our new digs...





Just before we were showered in rose petals...AGAIN...



Lucked out again, upgraded to a suite...



Marble bath with claw-foot tub...



Dressing room...



And the coffee/tea nook...what the hell is a coffee/tea nook?



View from whatever that room is...



Road to Udaipur


Bored with cows, I decided to focus on monkeys...


And bats...




Ray riding cows to draw water up from the well...



I got to pose with his wife...we splurged and gave them a dollar...




Mehrangahr Fort

Way up on a hill above Jodhpur, is the Mehrangahr Fort.  That's all I know, I didn't listen to the guide at all, I just took pictures while Ray got his history lesson.



The fort overlooks the Blue City...that much I heard...



Another self-portrait...




Some Maharaja used to sit in this room blah blah blah...





A great photo-op...




A lot of men hold pinkies here...and not the West Hollywood type...




Ray's reaction to me noticing the zip line poster behind him...
