Period Architecture in India

This home is located near Dehra Dun. It looks very similar to Chapman's work.

Auto Rickshaw with Bass

Up to this point in Aslam's journey, he has not experienced a rickshaw with music. Great times and another example of why Elly will have her own driver and SUV when she arrives. It felt like riding on the back of a skateboard with Sir Lancelot. The 2nd flick shows our additional passengers, making for a total of 6 to include the driver.

Summer Fun

Litchfield Watercade

While Ryan is busy studying in India, Elly and I have been taking in the Minnesota festivities. We are visiting Litchfield, MN this weekend. Elly saw her first fireworks and kept "woooing - woo." A little late for the little one but she was a trooper. On Saturday, Tayler (my niece) ran in the Litchfield 4-miler Watercade run. It was her first race and she won her age group and came in at 40 minutes. Not bad for a first race.

We then ventured off to the kiddie parade. Elly, Tayler and Olivia dressed-up as bunnies. They actually walked in the rain - pouring rain. Later is the town parade. Our spots have been reserved since last night (only in a small town can you do this).

Only two more weeks and we will be back with Dad again. We are looking forward to our last month in Monterey. For now, Elly is enjoying spending time with her cousins and all her new friends.

Headlamps for Wedding Party

These bright lamps are attached to other lights by giant electrical cords and under each light is a wedding party worker. Inside the circle of lights is a caravan and the groom's friends dancing like wild. It is quite the scene and everyone is having a good time and no drinks required. Easy days.
