From Cow Patties to Marble Palaces

I was sleeping near the cows in Orchha. image.jpg

In Agra, I held the Taj Mahal in my hands.image.jpg

How can I possibly return to boring real life where there are no goats, pigs, monkeys or cows in the streets?

I have told a couple of our guides that there are no cows or goats roaming the streets in Canadian cities, and that some Canadians have never seen a cow. They were utterly shocked and I'm not entirely sure they believed me.

Riding on elephants! India rocks! I hope they got snacks afterwards...

I was told they got lunch and a bath. My elephant's name was Maruti.

Sure you don't want a camel? It would definitely have to go in my checked luggage. Too big for carry-on.
