The following four posts are from a 30 day journey taken through Northern India with my daughter Courtney back in the summer of 2001. When she was 5 years old, I promised her we would make a long journey together when she graduated high school. Her ceremony was on June 6th and we left for India on June 8th.

Travelling in India is hard, and we had some uncomfortable times. Much of the tone of the writing reflects this discomfort, and the whole thing could use a good edit. I've chosen not to do that because I wanted it to share the original material composed in cybercafes along the way.

Keep in mind that the posts are listed in reverse chronological order. The most recent is first. If you want to follow the whole trip from beginning to end, scroll down to the post dated, Wednesday, June 13, 2001. It's the first missive from India.

I've added some of my photographs here. To see more pictures from this trip and others, please visit my website at: www.speignerphoto.com. To read my Mexico travelog click here.
