Amazing India! Bangalore, Day 1

I'm in India!  The weather is hot and sunny, and the sights and sounds of Bangalore are overwhelming to the senses.  I do not want to spend much time online - would rather be out experiencing the country!  But, I had to share some of the photos I took day 1, yesterday.  Jarrod and I went to the Lalbagh Botanical Gardens in the morning and then celebrated Ganesh's birthday in the evening.  Ganesh's birthday happens to be the biggest holiday in India, so it was a fabulous day to arrive in the country.  Everyone was worshipping and most people were off work to observe the day.  I have so much to tell you about, but that will have to come later. Enjoy few favorite pictures for now!
