Back tracking

So many times, I find myself thinking 'oh - I can put a picture of this on my blog' and then of course - I never - or rarely, do. There is written somewhere in my head that a blog post has to have a picture - I like pictures more than words, that is how my brain is wired, and so, a blog post that is only words is somewhat boring to me. In fact, this is not true, I have been entertained and interested, even cried with laughter at some peoples posts I have read, without the need for pictures.

Nonetheless, I have some images for you today, as I back track to my trip to India last month. I have never been to India before, and following several peoples tales I was expecting to be mauled by beggars and pickpocketed by street children at every turn, cheated by every person I met and thoroughly left high and dry. To my relief and pleasure, I found that this was not the case, and I had a wonderful experience, due in part to the fact that I was traveling with work, and had the luxury of local people to guide us to our destinations, and see that everything was tip top. We stayed in a beautiful Ex-Maharajah palace hotel in Bangalore, which being a small and relatively wealthy city, (when you call the bank - you probably get through to someone in Bangalore), felt safe and welcoming. We had a train journey to a small town in Tamil Nadu reigon, named Tirapur, and there we met the family of our business associate, who's mum cooked us dinner. It was wonderful.
