FAREWELL, INDIA...UNTIL DECEMBER 27!

We finished our exploratory visit to India on Saturday, February 11, 2006. What a whirlwind of activity! Much groundwork has been laid for the 2,000+ mile bicycle tour through the nation that will begin, officially, on December 29, 2006--less than 11 months from now.

Here are a few photos from the last week of our visit.

We drove past a herd of camels on our way to Chandrapur on Tuesday. About 30 of these animals then flowed around our Tata Sumo as we stopped to take a few pictures.

One of the street market stops we browsed in Chandrapur.


This little girl in Mumbai was not too sure about the camera at first.


Ice is one of many necessary items transported by bicycle in India. This block was used in the restaurant we visited in downtown Mumbai on Friday.


The Victoria Terminus, the last train station in Mumbai (Bombay) is the epitome of gothic architecture. I'm told the trains that leave from this station are so crowded you really don't walk, you just move with the flow.
