Our time in India is quickly escaping us. We only have one night left here in Bangalore. I can't believe tomorrow we will be flying to Dehli and I have anxious anticipation to see the Taj Mahal. Today we primarily did more shopping. From scarves to tea, our purses are a great deal lighter while on the other hand our suitcases are a lot heavier... job tonight: make it fit into one suit case and one carry on for the plane ride!!! I'm so excited to see all that Dehli has to offer for tourism but that also means hotels and limited/no internet access :( So I'm thinking the blog may see a decline but not to fear parents, we will be back in the United States all too soon!

Monkeys and cows and bears OH MY

Here are some more fun pictures

We thought we'd just add a little more onto Sarah's post, saying what others did today! We shopped, A LOT, but got some really great bargains thanks to Ben. Also, Kelly's group went to the Lalbagh botanical garden and Justine's group went to an art exhibit. The Lalbagh garden was very peaceful and surprisingly not busy, and the art gallery had an impressive display of photographs from the 1850's of a lost city. Both our groups ended up meeting at a restaurant called The Only Place. It seems like the only place in Bangalore that we've come across that serves beef. We both got the Philly cheese steak sandwich, and it was delicious. Reminded us a lot of home! It's hard to believe that we only have one week left here.

So today we were allowed to go out in groups to see the sights of Bangalore on our own. PES graciously supplied taxis for all of us for only a small fee. Val Terra Natalie and I decided to shop. And boy did we shop! It was really fun to be off on our own in the city but still know we had a taxi driver we could trust to be there when we wanted him to be. Also just to let everyone back in the US the Pizza Hut here is way better in the Pizza Hut we have in the states. We all enjoyed a little taste of home today. I still can't get over the amount of cows there are roaming the huge city of Bangalore. We watched one cross a busy street today, it made it without a scratch on it. All in all it was a fantastic day!

Hello All,

No that we are back in Bangalore I wanted to post some pictures.  I have literally 1000 more that we will post on shutterfly or a similar website when we get back to the states.  These are just a couple fun ones.  More to follow soon.
