India

I went to India a few years ago. The marketplace was really terrific - crowded, pushy, loud and sweaty hot! I had a great time "negotiating" for wonderful Indian crafts!

I was in the Northwest area of India - no alcohol. In 115 degrees, let me tell you I never wanted an ice cold beer so bad. And, of course, really no ice either.

But it was a great 5 days! I met lots of interesting people and saw many different things. At one point, at an intersection with 5 zillion honking cars stopped and 2 bazillion people walking through the street and 30 kids grabbing at my legs in the 3 wheeled taxi - well, I just had to laugh. It was too much fun!!!
