Wherever we travel, we are consistently greeted with genuine hospitality, friendship, curiosity, interest and no shortage of head wiggles! Whether in the cities or villages, deserts or mountains, we have been graciously invited into homes for chai, meals, sing-a-longs, homework help and holiday celebrations. Here are a few photos of friends we've made along the way and of time we've spent with our extended Indian family.

You both have the happiest smiles and the best, most positive attitudes I know. I'm sure you're making wonderful friends with everyone you meet.
