When they began to think about what they wanted to do; they realized 3 weeks can go by very quickly. Lisa thought they should go on a Tiger Safari but then learned the Parks were closed during the monsoon season. Fortunately Asher decided that rain should not be a deterrent and that they would have other adventures. Lisa also hoped they could meet
His Holiness the Dalai Lama but learned that His Holiness would be in Wisconsin while they were in Dharamasala.So as of March 15, Asher and Lisa have decided to spend their time taking in as much as they can. After a few days in Old Delhi, they plan to explore the sights, colors and flavors of Rajastan by visiting the great Mughal cities of Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodphur. They may also join a hunt to capture - but not hurt - a wild bear!

Be careful of those bears. They might not appreciate being captured, might capture you instead, keep you in a cave for 13 years like...you know who I mean, the woman in Tibet, you gave me her book...
Jeez-been all over that area w my former wife and two daughters then 3 and 5- Jaislamer and the camel ride into the desert was memorable as were all the car rides in between-in the dark bald tires screeching on a one lane hiway w a dozing driver going way fast and the kids sitting in the front on someones lap...you know a bizzarely foreign country a good deal from your reality already and the evening smells the music the uncontrol of the whole situation ---if we had hit a camel and died instrantly we would have undoubtedly been transported immediately back into the universe without needing to pass reincarnative "go"... one night the concierge informed us that there was a magician waiting in the ballroom to give a performance for my daughters...magical, what else!.....Taj Mahal-absolutely no one there because of security for Clinton visit- the guards were playing a flute in the big place...eldest daughter Kaleigh was scratched by a monkey and for a hand full more countries w no refridge I had to care for her weekly injection rabies syrum making sure it was properly refridgerated the whole time no bullshit..
remembered my friend Suryaveer Singh in Udaipur...use my name - he will take care of you sooo well- he is a dear friend so say hello from Beck Kaleigh and Franscis! suryaaveer9@hotmail.com was the last email address I had....I finally get that you havent gone yet and that the site is in preparation!
Asher and Lisa,
I too love train journeys - and my introduction to India's was through a National Geographic film, "The Great Indian Railway."
Starting in 1863, the raliway linked and helped unify disparate parts of the country, and the film is about the steam locomotives that powered its trains and the workers who devoted their lives to them.
When you return home, you might find it offers a potent way to reminisce about worlds you've traveled, people you've seen and your passion for this great land.
