India Recap: Beautiful Faces

A potter makes traditional unglazed clay tea cups.

I boarded the plane in New Delhi feeling exhilarated, exhausted, satisfied, energized–and just a tiny bit smug about having been one of the few members of our group who hadn’t gotten sick. “Pride goeth before a fall,” my Mom used to say and, in this case, she would have been right. Two hours into the flight between Delhi and Amsterdam, my body went awry, and I’m still working on getting back to normal.

So, while I rest and recuperate, I’ll post pictures instead of words, recapping my trip from Delhi to Agra to Vrindavan to Jaipur and back to Delhi with some of the snapshots I took along the way. I’ll begin with some beautiful faces.
