Images of India (part II)


This was the entrance to our hotel room. Ryan in the photo is about as tall as me, and just around the corner was a step up, further lowering the ceiling.



This is Crawford Market in Mumbai. Very chaotic, but a really cool experience. Many of the actual roadways in India look like this, execpt with cars and scooters in the middle.



The sign says it all. Yeah, I'm a rebel.
This was in front of the police headquarters too. You can't see it, but behind Edwin is an armed MP behind a barricade of sandbags at the entrance. And I love the look that that guy is giving me on the right.


These are some of the students we met at the college during our project trip. They guy with glasses is Ko, one of my fellow interns.



This is the Taj hotel, one of the locations attacked by terrorists last November. I believe they are still renovating some floors, and the security was huge.



To the opposite side of the Taj is the Gate of India. This was constructed for the arrival of King George in 1911. It actually wasn;t finished, so the just threw up some painted cardboard when he arrived. They later really finished it in 1914.



A sunset at our project site. I only wish those power lines were gone.



The most gigantic grasshopper in the world. fyi



This was the vehicle we drove around in in Tamil Nadu. The Tata Magic. Note the size and suspension on the wheels... :)



This is me in Chennai. That is the Bay of Bengal behind me.

  1. Wow Matt, the pix are great. I especially love the one of you at the bay. You can not send too many photos, they really delight us! It is so comforting to see your smiling face, a salve for the soul. We are visiting the Hannah-B this weekend to celebrate her 19th birthday; you will be missed. Godspeed. Mommy
