Street vendors were everywhere, even in the smallest little villages.
All I see is brown, even with pops of color in the background.
Yes, a young customer for that same vendor. Indian fast food.
Shopping for meals is as easy as stepping outside.
Village scene.
Washing in public.
I couldn’t resist taking some video, since I knew that we weren’t even supposed to brush our teeth with the public water supply. Here’s what I saw: dirty mop, bucket, guy washing his teeth.
What I didn’t see, until I walked around the scene, was that he was washing his teeth from a faucet that was out of view, not from the bucket. My assumption is that his body was accustomed to the water. We saw people washing in public all over India. Despite the dirt, cleanliness is valued. But oh, what a futile task!
These were some of the few dogs that looked fairly normal. The rest were in such sad shape it was horrifying.
Keeping things clean is a real challenge.
Especially with these ineffectual handmade brooms.
Oh, the cows.
Ivory Palace???
One would not want to detach one’s retina here, I don’t think. But actually, that Victorian clinic in Manhattan was pretty bad, too.
Glad those guest houses weren’t our accommodations.
The bright colors juxtaposed against the solid color (brown in this case) reminds me of Greenland where the houses were painted very brightly to stand out against the pervasive white of snow. No vegetation; just white snow and paint. It was actually pretty and interesting, much like your photos here.
Great photos and an opportunity to visit without making the trip! 🙂 I absolutely LOVE to travel, but I have to confess that India has never been on “the list”. Now thanks to you I’ve been able to observe some of the contrasts and experiences. Thanks! ~Kathy

Should I put Greenland on our list?

I loved our trip and hated it at the same time. It was the best and the worst…hard to explain, but worth it in the end.
Great street photos. Thanks for sharing a bit of your journey with us!
So glad you are coming along!
