We had a great week in Hyderabad, India. Back in September I got a job with a company in Hyderabad (SKS) so we bought return trip tickets back there when we left to come back to the states. Since then I took a different job in Kenya, but rather than waste the tickets we stopped over in India on our way to Kenya. We stayed with our friend Jane who works at the US consulate in Hyderabad. Thanks Jane! We had a delightful time eating amazing food, hanging out with old friends, and visiting sites. Here are a few pics from the past week.
This is a view of Golconda fort. Its an amazing complex built nearly a thousand years ago. The incredibly massive fort takes hours to explore. I'd gone there this past summer, but Mandy hadn't been so we took a day and explored. India has incredible history.
Back in it's time, the fort must have been breathe taking. All of the walls were beautifully inlaid with stones, plaster and carvings. I'm amazed at what people were able to pull off so long ago (with thousands of African slaves that is).
We had lunch with our good friends Pramod and Bharti. They are an amazing couple in the branch and are the glue that holds it all together. Bharti taught us how to make delicious Biryani. We had a great time.
All in all, India was great fun. We will really miss all of our friends there. It was a really difficult decision to choose Kenya over India, but who knows... maybe we'll be back someday.
