Donna's Post

Hi kids, co-workers and friends. I thought I would borrow Robyn's blog to send you some of the pictures from our visit to India. Here is a picture of the traffic in India.

Here is a picture of a man selling chaat on the side of the road.

Here we are at 10 Downing Street. It's a restaurant in India with a British theme. Yummy fish and chips.

Here is a picture of us at the local craft village called Shilparamam.

This young guy was selling glass beads in the village. He would only except U.S. dollars from us. He was a good sales man but he should have been in school...not working.

Here is a picture of us at my favorite Restaurant in Hyderabad, Ohris. I love the crackling spinach (shh... don't tell the doctor, but what kind of doctor puts you on a no vegetable diet?).It seems like all of the traffic circles or round abouts have a statue in the middle.

We were there for the kite festival. There is a lady flying a kite here, but you have to look closely.

Here is a picture of someone making a delivery on his bicycle.

Family of three on a motorcycle.

We went to Charminar where you can buy a lot of things at a cheap price. Most of the vendors set up on the side of the road.

Here is a picture of a clothing store at Charminar.

Here are some fancy shoes... only $1.50 a pair!

Charminar is famous for their bangles.

This is a picture of a mosque.

India can be quite crowded.

Here is a picture of Mohammad. He is Scott and Robyn's driver.

Family of five on a motorcycle. So far the most we have seen is 6.

Here is a picture of a lady begging outside of our car while we sat at a red light. The beggars here are very aggressive.

Here is a picture I took of an auto rickshaw while we were stuck in traffic.

One night we went out to play some pool and some other games.

This is Scruff doing an impersonation of a mermaid (would that make him a merdog).

Some of the laborers set up tent villages.

This was the biggest chicken I've ever seen. This chicken was as big as some of the kids who chasethem at Dixie.

Another family on a motorcycle. Women usually ride side saddle on the back of scooters.

This is Robyn, John and Scott posing at f cafe. Scott wants a chair like this.

This is a very interesting way to take your bicycle for a ride. If you can't tell it's two men on a motorcycle with a bicycle.
