We toured India for three weeks in December - hence the long break in posting. It is impossible for me to comprehend such a vast and diverse country in a three weeks - three years would be too short. The population of India is over three times that of the USA, The country about 1/3 the size of the USA.
Travelers from time immemorial have not hesitated to form opinions based on a short visit so I will conform to precedent.
I observed and felt:
- Tremendous diversity at all levels - like walking on a strange planet in a scene from the movie "Starwars"
- Huge disparities of wealth
- Spirituality in all aspects of life
- Public filth, personal cleanliness
- I was seeing the world as was 5,000 years ago
My pictures are slowly being posted at:
