7 cities, 3 countries, 35 days.

There are a lot of pictures.

I've been sifting through them for days trying to decide what to post, but I'm sure these are still way too many. Each city was so photogenic it makes it hard to decide. But for now, here are a few from Rome and Jaipur. Ciao Bella!





In the beautiful city of Roma we visited the new MAXXI Museum and loved their "Indian Highway" exhibition. Nalini Malani's paintings were such a treat to see in person.






In Rome we met up with my parents and then in true Eat, Pray, Love fashion, flew from Italy to India.





In Jaipur we stayed on the rooftop of Alsisar Haveli, a converted palace hotel. We hit all the tourist stops for my parents (Amer Fort, Jantar Mantar, City Palace, etc.), and even did a little off-roading to visit the famed Samode Palace. Jaipur is pretty much magical.






 









More to come. But for now our electricity keeps cutting out. #thirdworldproblems
