Udaipur, India

Boat, Udaipur Lake 

OK, so I go from the Mermaid Parade to India....what?...like this is not a perfect segue...

I made two trips to India back a few years working on a project in Nathdwara, a city in Rajasthan, western India. Nathdwara means 'pathway to the Lord Shri Krishna'. On each trip we stayed in Udaipur and each day made the 45 mile drive to Nathdwara. ...This was a treacherous drive - not so much the condition of the  road but mostly because the locals thought this was a 4 lane highway. It was not uncommon for them to pass on blind turns..I think you get the picture....

Most days we took a boat across Udaipur Lake to The Lake Palace Hotel for dinner...This hotel was the former summer residence of the royal family before being converted to a fabulous hotel. The hotel is pictured below - an image I borrowed from the WWW....

Happy Memorial Day Weekend...........
