Winter Trip To Southeast India

Joe & Val visited southeast India January 31 to February 9. We had been thinking of visiting India for some time. KDB already toured India on a high school trip! Valorie had been reading the teachings of Dattatreya Siva Baba, who is known as "The YouTube Guru". When he organized an India trip around his birthday, Valorie took it as a sign since it was her birthday. So we went on what was a very special tour of India. Even though tour participants were from various countries, Siva Baba was able to obtain permission for us to visit temple areas that were physically labeled as off limits to foreigners! The tour might best be described as a religious pilgrimage but, at any rate, it gave us a unique view of India very different from what a typical visitor would see. I plan to make some of our photos available to those who are interested. For starters, I've uploaded some to Facebook. If you are not already a "friend" of mine on Facebook, request that I "friend you" to see those photos.
