INDIA video

thanks for dealing with all of the many posts and updates
from our time in india! it was truly once in a lifetime
(quite literally...  i don't think we'll ever go back :)
and i am so so grateful that we are able to document
this life and our adventures so that we can re-live
and remember these experiences. before i talk too
much, enjoy the video. i hope it gives a little taste 
of this beautiful, crazy, amazing, chaotic country. 
<< below i'll give more details about our trip. >>

for now, enjoy!

for a quick recap, on this trip we visited:

• old delhi
• new delhi
• jaipur: india's pink city
• amber fort {with an elephant ride!!!}
• agra
• and of course, the incredible taj mahal!

we had lots of stops along the way traveling between these cities, and those villages were some of our favorites. all in all, this country was an eye-opener and a memory. it was the most different place we have been. we had highs and lows, seeing the most incredible sights alongside the most distressing poverty and living conditions. it was so much to take in but we loved it. we had amazing food, and we had not-so-amazing food. chase got a stomach bug and lost 12 pounds...so that's probably not good :) we barely survived being driven through the insane streets and adjusted to the 13.5 hour time difference just in time to head home. 

lots of people asked us: why? why india, why now, how, etc.

first of all...this question is how i know that everyone is 

different, and not everyone has this crazy love and

desire to see the world and explore new places.

there is almost no place i wouldn't go because i am so

in love with seeing new and different places and ways

of life. india is somewhere we were both so interested in

and excited to visit, and we decided to go on the golden

triangle tour with the same group -- china tour -- who 

we went to china with last year. we were so happy 

with that trip that we were glad to travel with 

them again. we formed a partnership after

that trip and we can't recommend this group 

more. if you can't tell - we are explorers and love 

to venture on our own, but having a tour company 

take us through countries like china & india has 

been so helpful and made the experiences much 

more enjoyable as we didn't have to navigate 

through places so different & chaotic. this

group plans amazing itineraries and gives you 

days on your own so that it's a great balance.

they also have amazing prices that include

flights, hotels, entries, and most meals.

we love this group and we have loved

the two trips we've taken with them.

hope you enjoyed the video, and 

these recaps of india! namaste!
