India!

So I never really blog about stuff that just I did anymore, but this one definitely warrants a post.

After starting in my new role in October, I had the amazing opportunity to go to India in December. It was an incredible trip. Very eye-opening in so many ways.

Professionally, it was a great experience and helped solidify me in the role. Personally, it was so incredibly heart-breaking to see that level of poverty. It really gave me a whole different perspective on our life here in the Western world...

Here are some photos from my adventure:

You know you are in the business class lounge now :)

It was SUCH and oddessy to get my visa for India. I was SO happy when it finally came!

Lotus temple. As my driver said, the only thing inside is "peace."

Humayan tomb, predecessor to the Taj Mahal

The people were so small!

Very, very scary bathroom. I walked in and the guys glared at me and said "money." I waned to respond okay, I will pay you whatever you want not to kill me!

The feet of my very helpful guide that walked me around and showed me the tomb site. Of course for money. :)

Ya know, Elephants always walk around on the side of highways in major cities...

They had a KFC!

Gorgeous and very yummy Indian restaurant. I tried to get my driver to come in and have lunch with me but he wouldn't...

Fried domes with an odd ketchup sauce

I had some sort of spicy onion chicken. So good!
