Last Days in India

25-28 September 2017

Touring Pune and surrounding sites…

On the first day in Pune I traveled with Mark and his co-workers out to a testing grounds (which is a cooperative effort with an agricultural university) located several hours outside of Pune.  

I didn't get a good photo but I wanted to show you the COLORFUL  ladies' clothing in India: bright & happy colors!

All those colors in the field.  Can you guess what they are?

Colorful saris drying (my guess is that they were washed in the creek and then spread out to dry).

At the test site….Mark testing the machine:

Several of the engineers tried out the machine. Then it was time to get back in the car and head back to Pune.  As we were getting close to Pune we stopped at this VERY popular masala chai stand.  Apparently this guy makes an excellent living making and selling these (small but delicious) cups of chai.

 This is outside the chai (which means "tea" in many languages) stand… it was quite crowded:IMG_3322
