Journey to India

Becky spent her fall semester in Madurai, South India. Of late, my international travel has been to wherever Becky's been studying (last year, South Africa). Ellen and Amalia couldn't get away (work and school) but Raphael and I could - so we took 2 weeks to visit India and Becky. Two weeks is too short a time for anything other than a taste.

Becky had seen much of South India and was more interested in going north - especially Rajasthan. We hadn't seen anything - north, south, east, west. So we planned to fly into Mumbai and meet Becky there, travel north to Rajasthan, then east to Agra, then finally south to meet Becky's friends and host family in Madurai.

I wrote occasional posts via email or in a handwritten journal and transferred them to this blog after we returned.

Most of this journal was written in India - I did add a few notes after I returned. My camera died along the way, so the photos from Agra and Madurai were not mine - sadly, as I had wanted to shoot the Taj Mahal and Becky's host family and friends.
