She hopes to one day come work with us, so we spent the two weeks she was with us showing her the ropes and doing some sightseeing around north India.
There were many things on our list of things to do and we somehow managed to squeeze them all in while she was here!
See the Himalayas
The green mountains aren’t the Himalayas. The sunlight was a little too bright to capture the snowcapped mountains in the distance. It was a gorgeous view!
Be wrapped up in a sari
I had a friend in town who graciously came over one evening and wrapped us up in two of her saris. The amount of wrapping, folding and carefully pinning amazed us. The result was awesome!
Tour New Delhi
Adam at India Gate in the heart of New Delhi
Adam got into this whole “Let’s dip in front of Indian monuments” thing
Jumping pics are just necessary!
This poor guard. I couldn’t tell if he loved or hated his job!
India Gate – remembering those who fought and died in World War 1
Old Delhi #chaos
Brownie points if you can see the cute little boys watching a nearby cricket game
A beautiful mosque called Jama Masjid
We somehow ended up walking on the side of the median during crazy traffic
The Red Fort in New Delhi
The fort grounds just kept going and going and going…
Taj Mahal (because who comes this close and doesn’t visit the Taj?!)
Rachel’s one big request – to see the Taj Mahal
Like I said…Adam really got into dipping me
So thankful for this girl’s friendship!
Couldn’t leave without a crazy group picture!
The Taj Mahal is a stunning historical monument well worth the travel and line standing to go see. But the people of India dressed in their finest saris and turbans – they are the ones who make India beautiful.
Ahh, we want to come and visit!!!!
Beautiful! So glad she could visit!
