We left on Saturday and went to Jim Corbett's tiger reserve for the weekend.  It was an amazing experience.  We drove for about 8 hrs to get there through little village after little village.  It was such a humbling experience to see people who's way of life has not changed for the last 100 yrs.  We stayed at a "resort/spa" near the reserve and while the accomadations were luxerious by their standards, they left a little to be desired by mine. But well worth the experience.  We spent two days touring the reserve by Jeep looking for the Siberian Tiger, which, if seen is  pure luck and looking at wild elephants, boars, deer and lots of other wildlife.  We were lucky enough to see the tiger on our first day - it was amazing.  We got stuck in traffic on our way back and it ended up taking 10 hrs to get back to the hotel in Delhi. 

It was great to read the race reports from this weekend - Congratulations on a great job by all!!

Happy Running!

That sounds fun A once in a lifetime experience. All I can say is I MISS YOU. I have no drive to get out and get my run done. And when I do it I am sluggish at best. Have fun and stay safe.

It sounds like you are having a blast on your vacation! I agree with Paula. Truly a once in a lifetime experience! Hopefully you're getting lots of pictures!
