January 24, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Tara & Mike

Udaipur, India

Namaste from India! We’re happy to report that south India is waaaayyyy different from the north. Remember that post Tara wrote about culture shock? Well, we think it would have been a different post if we had traveled around the south first. It very well could be our own personal experience, but we think the Read Post
