UGANDA!

First off, I apologize for the pictures all being messed up. I am not sure why they all turned out so funky. But I think you'll get to main point of them =) 

Yum! Yum! Breakfast on my first morning =) 

Taking lunch and eating Pillawo. Godfrey was too into his phone to look at the camera haha

I don't think you can see it, but this is the taxi station.... 

Keith and I right before going to the beach. Godfrey in the back photo bombing lol

Biggie and Alice chilling outside the restaurant at the beach. 

Keith is extremely fashionable with my purse! He is such a fun guy and great friend =) 

The guys were afraid of getting wet haha

I know you can hardly see it, but this is me doing flips on the trampoline thing set up at the beach! 

Fun times and more to come in the few short days I have left with my friends! 

The end to my semester in India....

I can't believe it is already over! These past 3 months flew by and I wasn't ready for the abrupt goodbyes. But in the last few days we had together, we were still travelling and making the most of our time! 

The Taj Mahal, words can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was!

Hannah, Celiz and I at the Taj =) 

This is an example of the semi-precious stone inlayed work that is covering the Taj Mahal! This piece alone has 6 different stones!

After the Taj, we went to the Agra Fort and got to see the room where Shan Jahan was locked away until his death. Even as creepy as that sounds, this fort was almost as beautiful and magnificent was the Taj. 

Once done in Agra and Deli, we took our very last train ride to Mumbai... I didn't realize how much I would miss trains until I had to fly. For so many reason, I actually prefer trains now and looked forward to them.

Finally, on our last full day in India, we went to the Gate of India. Jess, the best roommate ever, and I just enjoying our time there (between other people taking our picture as well....)

Now I am in Uganda, Africa where I am catching up with some old friends. It really is a bitter-sweet feeling. I will have at least one more post, maybe 2 while here but then I will be done with this blog. (Sorry these posts haven't had much content lately, hopefully my next one will!) 

Varanasi and Rajpur

My train ride to Varanasi was 28 hours... so this picture of me partly smiling is rather impressive. 

Once in Varanasi, we realized how amazing and beautiful it was. Celiz and I really enjoyed the Ganges river view =) 

I forgot to rotate this one before I loaded it. Oops haha

Our first night on the river, we lit candles and had a short prayer before putting them in the water. The river Ganges is a major holy river for Hindu and is thought to cleanse them of thier sins. I have a lot of thoughts and corrilations about this river that I will share with you all when I get home =) 

This is the view of the city from a boat at night. Absolutely beautiful! 

Our group after a tour of the city. 

This is holy "shimmering" well was amazing and pictures truely cannot do it justice! 

Sunrise over the Ganges is one of the most breathtaking things in India! 

After Varanasi, we got a another train for 22 hours and traveled to Rajpur which is in the foothills of the Himalaya's. 

We were even lucky enough to get to talk to a Buddhist monk. 

Then... it started to rain and as you can tell, I was feeling at home! 

So much at home that I started doing cartwheels! haha

Jullianna and I "Shawshank Redemption'ed" it! 

This place holds a special place in my heart: The House of Peace! (ask me about it when I get home!) =) 

Yesterday, we finally got to go white water rafting down the Ganges River! I think I am hooked now! 

Beautiful sceanery! 

Our group at the end of the 4 hour excursion! I have some pretty amazing videos as well from this day! 

In less than a week I leave India and begin my adventures in Uganda! I cannot believe how qickley time has flown by! Tomorrow we go to the Taj Mahal and you can be sure I am beyond excited! I'll try to post one last time before I leave India! Keep me in your prayers! 

P.S. I appologize for all the spelling errors! I can hardly see the screen here at the internet cafe so am not really sure what I am writing, but I know there are probably a few errors... haha
