Your ride in the carts drawn by the small pony-sized horses was likely a bonanza for the drivers, having so many of you to transport to the Palace. What an artistic display of the vegetables and fruits! Love living your experience through your posts!

Don McLean .. somewhere back in the very early 1970s I believe .. and to his song .. Vincent. Starry Starry Night .. Vincent this life was never meant for one so beautiful as you .. as he took his own life !!<br /><br />Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey<br />Look out on a summer’s day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul<br />Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils<br />Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land ..<br /><br />This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you ..<br /><br />Odd where and how fast the places one's mind takes one !!!<br /><br />IF I am not careful YOU are going to BAN me from posting comments Gullible .. <br /><br />Fascinating post .. especially this one for me .. up close and before you .. Mother India .. I cannot count the times I have been ON a train as it roared past such tiny villages with the people at the road crossing looking longingly up at the train and its passengers .. <br /><br />The Nawab is a formal title if I am correct .. and NOT purely a part of his name .. that refers to males.<br /><br />Great Post .. Smiles .. from Hong Kong and Chinese New Year and from Anchorage ..

Thus it would sit in bags along the river bank until the bags broke or were torn open. There is so much trash all over India. Best solution: ban plastics and foam like Styrofoam displosable plates.<br /><br />I have no answers other than that for India. I have no answers for Alaska.Gulliblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757448241656853571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029159028015312900.post-63869536138568866152015-02-17T12:18:23.895-09:002015-02-17T12:18:23.895-09:00Something tells me you won't take Bud's su...Something tells me you won't take Bud's suggestion.Cheryl Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064303602761860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029159028015312900.post-34280194100954707432015-02-17T05:31:00.111-09:002015-02-17T05:31:00.111-09:00And you thought the idiots along the Seward Highwa...And you thought the idiots along the Seward Highway were bad. Just think how much fun you could have picking up litter along the Ganga. You could move there and be warm all year round while you are picking and not have all the traffic to worry about and permanent volunteering.Bud Sprengernoreply@blogger.com
