Camel Caravan

We are about to leave Rajasthan and head on to Nepal. There have been many stops between Delhi and this location, including the city of Agra and the beautiful Taj. Bob and I spent several days visiting small villages in this state. Our means of transportation was camel. Seriously! We stayed in a lovely hunting camp and would head out from there each morning to see what many call the "real" India. My camel and I made a quiet peace with each other - eventually. The camels were actually a more comfortable ride than the jeeps or wagons we also could use. We've had two other cooking lessons and been to visit local village schools. It is an eye opening experience. We've seen this before in other countries but it is always a reminder how fortunate our children are. Never forget to bless the womb that bore you. Hugs and blessing...Mary
