Pune

We stayed in Pune with Carmen's cousin, Karen Anand, for three days. Pune was verry different from Bombay. There was a lot more greenery and less people. Karen and her husband Yadu were so wonderful to us and we truely enjoyed our visit with them.
Karen and Yadu's beautiful terrace in the morning:

A cow in the middle of the road is typical in India.

The boys took an auto rickshaw into town.

Us girls shopped for saris in Pune. The process of picking out a sari started with us all sitting in a small room on step stools. One of the employees started pulling folded saris from the numerous bays full of fabrics and threw them in front of us. After narrowing down the type of fabric and color, we just had to pick the one or two that we wanted to buy. It was so hard to choose just one or two. They were all different and so beautiful. Lindsey and I were able to pick our favorites and Noelle got hers the next day.
