One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had never been to a wedding until I traveled to India where I was able to see two! The first was a huge affair in a large city with fireworks and the whole shebang. Great food and lots of colors. The groom rode in on a wonderfully decorated elephant.

The second was in a small village. It was great to see the more traditional clothing and dance. I received my very own Rajasthani turban as a gift - one of my most treasured souvenirs.
