Planes, Trains, Buses, Vans and Rickshaws




We pretty much used every mode of transportation aside from a boat!
Those rickshaw drivers can maneuver in between traffic like nobodies business. You just have to trust that they know what they're doing.... and they do!
Our van driver was awesome. I thought they over used their horns where I live. Not a chance. This guy honked his horn so much that he had a dance to go with beat that hi honked. That and he watched our luggage for us as we waited for our night bus.
We took a COLD night train from Delhi to Amritsar. FYI - NEVER take a night train OR bus during January without a wool blanket.

I couldn't watch.....


I couldn't watch these cobra's dance, so I used my friend's picture. Sorry mom, but I couldn't resist putting them on here. You can't go to India without seeing(out of the corner of my eye) some dancing cobra's. Yuck...:S

The Taj Mahal



Taj means crown and Mahal means palace! We came early to get the Taj at sunrise and we weren't disappointed, it was beautiful!

Incredible India



We visited the red fort in Delhi. Jaipur is considered the pink city so we visited another fort there. There was an area with glass walls and ceilings!
