How I did it

Feel useful

I Love India Now
14 months ago
My son and I went to Bangalore for a week, then to Nagarhole Wildlife Preserve, Kodagu (Orange County), and Mysore for another week. It was soo very different and so exciting. I loved the temples, animals, people, jasmine, food!!!, and watching how people get by when they just don’t have all the modern conveniences. People for the most part are slim and eat a healthy diet. It’s just so different I could go on all day. We were lucky enough to witness a traditional wedding.
If you get a chance, you must go.
