Toilet paper,monkeys and kitesThis is

What a day! No driver so we were in house entertaining ourselves- That can be dangerous.
To help the group prepare for the trainride I made a small presentation to them
Ready for the road

Home comfort!
After breakfast we discovered a few new neighbours on the roof of the Jain Temple that is just up the road


Look at the Canadians and Yanks
.A walk in the neighbourhood brought extra treats for us today. We were looking for design in homes doors,balconies etc. As we walked around because it is kite day we were invited into the home of people in the pol to see their roof top terraces. Never a shy group we were in 5 homes and trooped through the floors to get to the roof. Hands up please who would invite 7 strangers to come in and wander and then want to take our pictures? well I am waiting.
Come in please

a great wall piece to have

This is her home
Another day in Ahmedabad is over and the group is off to bed -after all it is almost 9.

Take care of each other.

    I had lunch with Barbara Scott yesterday and we talked about your trip and Blog. I have passed along the link. I had Indian for lunch in your honour. Of course not authentic.

    Sounds like a great trip and will anxiously await future installments.
