There are many small rituals that happen in a Hindu service. The women demonstrated what Betty should be doing, and laughed when she didn't get it right.










Our driver, Malagar Singh, calls these cute little donkeys Ferraris: small and fast. I want one!
















































There are many Sihks in the Punjab. Look at these awesome turbans! We got "stuck" at sunrise waiting in line to walk through the inner room at the Golden Temple behind these men.

I missed meeting this man, but Lawrence says he's a really sweet guy. . .











Camels are fun to watch, and are completely unrattled by the chaotic traffic all around them, as are the many cows (pics to come), dogs, donkeys, goats, pigs -- all present in the crazy mix in the heart of the old cities we've visited.
