India --- Yet Again

India is a wonderful, colorful chaos. This trip to India had great diverstiy: Sikkim (Earth's third highest mountain); Rajasthan (Taj Mahal plus Pushkar Camel Fair); Mumbai; Central India (famous caves, tigers...). People in India are friendly and colorful; the food is fabulous; and the hotels lovely. Definitely it's one of my favorite countries.
