About this blog

Lucky us being able to travel where whimsy and planning takes us, this time to India. These are our memories and snippets of what we learned. As Rick Steves so aptly puts it: "Many of today's elected leaders have no better connection with real people (especially outside of their borders) than those 'divinely ordained' kings did centuries ago." Dick and I want to connect with those real people, to learn who they are, how they live and what their stories are. Like Rick Steves, we travel on purpose, "to broaden our perspectives personally, culturally, and politically."

These are our stories and those of India. If you see any facts you think need changing, just let me know and I will, like any good newspaper, send out a correction.

We hope you enjoy joining us on this journey.
