I need a little…

February 29, 2012
 
INDIA!
 
I save these images for when I am feeling like I need a smile and some amazing memories.  You all know (or NOW you know…) that I have a love/hate relationship with the entire country of India… or more specifically New Delhi.  But, it has now been a good 5 years since my last visit, and so my memories are all warm and rosy… 

Sally’s brother, Charlie, has a travel company based out of Toronto called Trufflepig, and they basically do bespoke travel plans… Amazing, detailed, meticulous, beautiful, inspired travel plans.  You should check them out if ever you are looking for help with a trip, or even if you are simply looking for some inspiration.  The photos from the places they have travelled are drool-worthy.  So, when Char posted these images of India back in November, I made a mental note that I would post these, probably on a dreary February day, when I was dreaming of India.  And that day has come.

Some of these are of places that I have been on my own… some of them are actually of places that I have been WITH Sally and Charlie… some of them I’ve never been to… but all of them combined bring back such visceral memories of India and the places that I have visited that I will NEVER forget, and really long to go back to… All in all a pretty great way to spend a half hour on a February day.  I could spend hours more looking at pics like this… It might be time to go back.  Who’s with me???

Rawla Narlai in Rajasthan. Beautiful.

 

Shopping for dhurries at Roopraj's in Rajasthan. That's Sal, her mom Sue and me in the background. We did not leave empty handed. In hindsight, I wish I had bought WAY more.

 

Lake Palace Hotel, Udaipur. Magic.

 

United Coffee House in New Delhi. An institution

 

So much style

 

Not sure where this is but I have witnessed this in so many different markets in India it's a classic scene

 

The house in Goa that we stayed in
