India is colorful, different and exotic. We went to 4 big cities: Delhi, Agra, Ranthombre and Jaipur.
There were women working in colorful saris. Saris are pieces of cloth that you can wrap around in lots of different ways. There were buses overloaded with people, me staring, school kids waving and lots of people begging. There are also lots of cows, camels, horses and goats wandering the cities.

To see lots of things we started out on a rickshaw ride (cyclo tour) through narrow streets filled with tons of people. There were monkeys in what looked like million year old houses and people selling things. It was so different abut very neat to see.
We got up very early to see the Taj Mahal, which is a magnificent building. A king built it for his wife, all out of marble, with fountains in front. She was the only one who was buried in there besides the king. He wanted to build a black Taj for himself, but he couldn't start it because he got imprisoned by his own son. the Taj Mahal was very amazing.
Ranthambore
This is a national park. We went on a safari and saw both a tiger!!!! and a leopard!!!! We were very lucky!!!
Jaipur
We went on an elephant ride up to a fort. It felt like we were kings and queens. We also saw a carpet factory where they showed us how to make a carpet. It looked very hard and tiring.
India is very colorful with all the hardworking women in saris. India is also very different because there are lots of people with different lives. India is also very exotic. I really liked visiting India, and it made me feel how lucky I am to have food, clean water and a shelter.

Dear Caroline,
I love what you've written about India. And the photos are wonderful! You've really captured what it's like to be there. I can't wait for the next segment of your blog (especially the part where we joined you in France. Lucky us!)
Love,
Babi
you realy got close to that elephant didn't you!
it sounds like such a busy place where everyone works day and night, that was an interesting story about taj mahal, it's hard to imagine that it was a gift for his wife!
