England on the way Home

A week in England on the way back - the tower of London, Globe Theatre, biking on the flooded Thames - we were there for some of the worst flooding in a century. Windy day at Stonehenge and a beautiful view from the Salisbury Cathedral.







We stopped in England for a week on the way back to AK.

Austria on the way to India

We stopped in Austria on our way to India, saw our friends Nate and Alex in Innsbruck and went to a curling tournament. It snowed two feet - in May - once the Alaskans showed up. We did get to enjoy the beautiful mountains and the comfy Halleranger Alm.





Temples in India

A Jain temple in Haridwar. Hemis Monsatery festival in Ladakh. A bathing ghat in Varanasi. The Taj Mahal and a camel in Rajastan.





Along the Ganges River

Aarti ceremony in Rishikesh. Cows in front of the ashram. Elephant ride on my birthday. Bathing in the Ganges in Haridwar.
