a few family pictures

It was just so, so cool to see this. I love this picture!

It was hard to get used to people staring at us and trying to take our pictures everywhere we went. Whenever I was left alone (without Husband) I was surrounded and hounded until he came back. So we learned to always keep a man with us. People were especially fascinated with the children – I did not see any other white kids while I was there, so they were pretty unusual to see, I guess. I was always turning their faces away from people who were trying to take their pictures or hiding them under my scarf like this.

We did revert back to our wilder traveling days and indulge in street food. (Thump! That was DCRmom fainting.) It was actually one of the yummiest meals we had while we were there!! This kids ate fairly well, which was suprising as it was mostly bean-based things and naan. (They ate mostly naan. And lots of peanut butter sandwiches with the jar of Jif I had brought from home.) They ate a ton at this meal, though. It was a little Chinese booth where we got fried rice, greasy noodles and dumplings. Yummy!

Since it was fairly obvious that we were tourists, we did indulge in a few tourist things – like a camel ride back to the car from the Taj!
