We’re back from India!

We got back late Sunday night after quite the day of travels–we started out in a taxi, then took two planes, the tube in London, a bus back to Cambridge and biked home!  We are so glad to be home and in our new house–we have a few more things to get, like a blanket–its cold here! and then hope to be settled into our new place.   I’ll post a few pictures of highlights from the first few days in India–at Siju’s sister’s wedding and then over the course of the next few days tell some of our travel tales as well as post pictures of our other adventures in Mumbai and Kerala.  All in all it was a good trip, although we were sad to miss Christmas with our families and will be glad to have a White Christmas next year!

I got mahendi (or henna) done with Lilly, Siju’s sister and bride-to-be, at her house a couple of nights before the wedding.

We attended Lilly and Vinit’s wedding

Peter wore a turban and wore the kurta he bought when he was in India in 2005.  I wore a sari that evening.

Even with all of these bangles, I was ‘underdressed’ compared to most Indian women! 

Lilly and Vinit, the bride and groom, at their reception that evening.  This is Lilly’s third outfit and hair/make-up change for the day!
