Amazing and crazy India

It's been just over a week since we arrived in India and its both amazing and crazy! After our time in Delhi, we headed to Agra and saw the Taj Mahal and the Agra fort which were both incredible. We are currently outside Jaipur and got to see a Tiger in the wild this morning while on safari; it was very far away, but still a unique experience. There are so many things that are so different about India, from the food to the people, but most of all the way of life which seems unorganized and chaotic, but at the same time just works, somehow....

Delhi

It is so different here compared to anywhere else we have ever been. We met up with Dane, Ryan's brother who was passing through Delhi today. It was a great experience meeting up with a familiar face from back home! We are planning on visiting him in a few weeks up north where he teaches.

Arrived safely!

We have arrived safely and looking forward to our first day in Delhi!

Ready to go.....

We are so excited to be leaving tomorrow!!! We have spent the last few days under almost disbelief that the time has come to head out travelling again. India will be a unique experience and marks the 5th continent Ashley has been to and the 6th one for Chad! So incredible! 
Cannot wait to share our experiences and thank everyone for all the love and support pre-departure. We are very lucky to have such amazing family and friends!!! 

Setting back out....

On January 23rd we are leaving again for another trip of a lifetime. First, we fly to India with our friend Jeff who is staying with us for the first week or so. From there we plan on heading to Nepal before possibly Mongolia. We are very excited to be going again and look forward to what lies ahead! 

Rottnest Island

We spent two days on an island off the coast of Perth called Rottnest Island.  There are no cars on the island and it is the only place you can find Quokkas (small marsupials about the size of a raccoon).  These things come right up to you and Chad even had one jump on his lap while we were drinking a beer at the local pub. 

We spent most of the time during the days riding our bikes between the amazing beaches on the island.  The snorkelling was outstanding here as well, but alas we had no camera for that...

Perth

We are hanging out in Perth and trying to locate some work to top of the accounts again. We are staying with a friend we met in Africa! Last night we went to see her do her trapeze class and may try one ourselves next week!!...Otherwise we wanted to pass along a few messages for some big events over the next few weeks....
Vicky and Chris - Best of luck with the wedding next weekend! We wish we could be there to celebrate!
Moms - Happy Mother's day to Vicky and Gloria. Love you both very much!
