    Re: My Travels...

    Namaste,

    And the last picture from this trip....


    The Laxmi Narayan Mandir in Delhi - Built in the 1930s, it was financed by the industrialist Birla, and is also known by the name Birla Mandir. For a long time it was the only big temple in the capital, the old ones having been destroyed by the invaders; until newer ones started springing in the 1960s.


    Pranam.

    BTW, I am just enjoying the scenery on the way to my destination.

    Mind is willing but the body can't handle that any more. I will meander through here and Petra in Jordan, on my way to the Holy Land. Just taking care of the bucket list.


    Is it AA from Chicago? Just curious!
    Are you going to Tyrol?

    No. BTW what you have quoted is from a very old post. The travelogue is a collection of different trip reports and not from just one giant trip.

    Pranam.

    The restaurant sign for Cafe Paradise in St. Petersburg shows the food served in 'their' heaven,

    Students in jumpsuites of different colors; the color signifies their major at college


    A street musician in Helsinki making music with bottles partially filled to different levels


    Pranam.

    Some pictures from the capital (Delhi):


    Amaltas tree (a medicinal tree), in full bloom


    Nature's bounty, sweet Lychee fruit



    And the satiating mangoes


    Moving on to the summer vegetables, bhindee (okra, ladyfingers)


    This horse is probably thinking, who in the world wants to get married in this 115 degree heat?
