In October, I had the opportunity of traveling to India.  The purpose of the trip was business, but we had some time to see the a few things, and I took along my camera to capture the following images.  If my luggage is ever found by the airline, I'll add a few "tourist" souveniers later.  I will also add better captions, since my India notes and travel information are also in my undelivered luggage.

Click on the small picture to see a larger one.

	One of the ladies in our group had a local artist draw this design on her hand.  It is a popular form of art, and lasts for a few weeks.  They also do feet, ankles, arms, etc.
	Here is a group of school children, on tour.  I will use this picture when our children complain about the school dress code.  At least they don't have this kind of uniforms.
	These columns show the intricate carving used at this site when it was built in the 1500s.
	This iron pole is a famous relic.  Claimed to be here since the 400s A.D., it shows no rust signs.  The phenomenon is cited as evidence that some extraterrestrials must have left it long ago.
	Monkeys run wild here.  This one was strolling across the presidents lawn.  We also saw them in trees and on the roads.  Three of them were scattered like birds from the top of our hotel by the doorman.
	Another popular tourist attraction.  This picture cost me 50 cents.  He plopped the basked down and played while I shot the picture, then promptly scooped up his work and took the money.  At some point, I would think the snake gets tired with this program.
	Notice the signs on this private driveway: "Robbers will be shot" - there are many locations where private armed guards protect property entrances.
	Like many countries, India has their carpet industry.  Here we are looking over the selection.  I was really tempted to purchase the big one everyone's feet are on, but not at the price for which it was offered.
	We ate lunch here.  The waiter was certain to point out their specialty is "Chicken" - gee, I wonder if we had any earlier clue?
	The Taj Mahal - a very beautiful place, held in much reverence here.
	Like visiting a mosque, people remove their shoes before entering the Taj.
	Looking out from the Taj deck, downstream to the Red Fortress - very had to see through the pollution.
	Intricate designs above the door frame at the Taj.
	A corner column at the Taj.
	Across the shady side deck of the Taj - it was a very hot day, and most people gather here.  There are four towers like the one seen here, one in each corner.
	The Red Fortress - the husband of the 2nd wife for whom the Taj was built lived here.  In fact, he lived here in "exile" for many years, watching her resting place downstream from his room.
	One place inside the Red Fortress where they have somewhat restored the paint to show how it appeared with in it's golden splendor.
	Some more carving at the Red Fortress - this is above one of the door frames.
	This is a common taxi in Delhi - it is small but very maneuverable, which is a great advantage in the crowded streets.
	Here's a quick glimpse of housing in Delhi - there is better housing, and much worse.  But from what I saw, the majority of people live in places like this.  Be grateful.
