2013 VACATION – INDIA
A very special trip: to celebrate one one, but two golden wedding anniversaries ! The year 2013 marked the 50th Wedding Anniversary of both – my parents, as well as my in-laws! It was more of a family trip, with lots of personal photos. But this website is not about personal issues, so I will stick with tourism.
We we did take some small sightseeing tours including a trip to Mumbai, and some tourism sites in Bihar like Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir and Pawapuri, and of course Patna!
MUMBAI: For me, Mumbai is so much more than the capital city of Maharashtra. I have lived and worked in Mumbai for 8 years, before I moved to the US. I have been to many places in Mumbai, but mostly in the pre-digital, pre-blogging era, so do not have many images to put here. In my recent trip in 2013, I did take some photos. Here are just a few I can share.
PATNA/ BIHAR: Just in case you are not from India, Patna is the capital of Bihar. In the 2013 trip, we did see some places like Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir and Pawapuri.
