Val & Collette Cook Family

 Emma and Brianne in their sarees.  In front of our apartment house in Hyderabad.  Taj Mahal Fort Agra; Where Akbar once ruled The Indian people loved taking our pictures and being taken with us.  Some wanted money afterwards and others like these nice people just wanted a moment of our time.

Yesterday we went to the Nehru Zoological Park. We paid to ride in a large size golf cart. It was a big zoo I thought we could do without it but by the end of the day I was very tired. The best part of the zoo was the animals. They were active and fun to watch. Pictures were hard to get because they were often in the shade. My favorite was the tiger.

Sharing my favorite restaurant with my family and Abdul.  

Friday in front of the Mosque in Charminar

We are having so much fun. We are very busy. The kids like to go and go. We have a driver that is taking us around. He is great he speaks good English and know where tourists like to go. View from our hotel. We stayed in the Daspalla hotel the first few days then we found an apartment to stay in.  We are learning the culture and learning to live it.  The apartment has western type bathroom.  The bed is hard so we are getting the feel of India also.
