A few pictures

I haven't done this much, but I thought I'd go ahead and share some pictures with you on the blog. First, when we went to the mall yesterday, we saw a couple rather interesting T-shirts. Here they are (if you can't read them, click on them for a larger image. They are, at the very least, interesting).

The links to the right will take you to full albums of my pictures. You'll find lots of duplicates in the full album, since it includes literally every picture I've taken here, since I'm using it as a backup to my files on my hard drive. I've also included several more pictures directly here, but refrained from adding too many pictures on my blog, since I plan on using some of them in later posts for various reasons. In any case, enjoy!

Flora in India is colorful, so I've included several examples of some of the flowers we've seen. The red ones are all over the place, whereas the white ones we found on our long walk Sunday afternoon. We decided that our day was better spent walking around Pune than it was sitting in our apartment on Facebook (especially since Facebook is pretty dead at that time of day).

Finally, I've included several pictures of daily life in Pune. Nothing spectacular--just a few pictures here in there. To the left is a picture of Pune with the foothills of the Sahyadri Mountains in the background. As a side note, the Sahyadri Mountains form the geographical boundry Deccan Plateau (where Pune is located) and the land next to the Arabian Sea (where Mumbai is located). As I mentioned before, India is quite colorful, and even their trucks show it. This one is not unusual in the decorations its owner has placed all over the truck. The picture on the right is one of dogs taking shelter from the Indian heat. Dogs are everywhere here, and the heat at midday makes us feel like we're back in Houston.
