INDIA

  Generic stray dogs, cows, monkeys, goats, and people all litter the streets of India.  The air in Delhi is visible, a thick pea soup filled with unmentionable toxins.  The population has somehow adapted and continues to grow and thrive.  There are towns where you swear you've been hurtled back to biblical days.  The garments, shops, and rudimentary dwellings are out-of-place in a western civilization, but right at home in this part of the world.  Swirling yards of fabric blow from the bodies of women as they walk down alleyways and through public places.  It's exotic and foreign, an Arabian Night's Tale, a Rudyard Kipling story, a story from the bible... it's breathtaking in so many ways.
