India / Nepal Trip - March, 2008


Launched: 03/31/2008

Once again, David, his sister Nancy, and I set out to sightsee. We met up with Chuck and Heidi, David's dad and friend. Unlike traditional sightseeing, we were content to just walk around and see the city. We didn't look for specific tourist attractions such as parks, museums, etc. We just walked around, looking at the city, and how it was inhabited.
