Picture time.... finally

Pictures, at long last!

Lake Tahoe - Foggy & Snowy

Salmon Spawning

V all smiles at the 18th hole of Pebble Beach - someday he might get to play there for real ;-)

18th hole - How come all beautiful locations are taken up by golf courses? No fair, I say!

Checking out some produce at a Pumpkin Farm

Ocean on one side.....

... Farms on the other

A Hot fudge brownie sundae anyone? At the Ghiradelli shop in SFO

SFO - on our way to Sausalito

Noisy, Stinky seals enjoying the sun....

Now here's one from Vegas! (didn't want Vegas to feel left out)

Dad and Son at work... fixing a flat tyre. After seeing the Canyon, we came back to see the flat...

Hoover Dam (from another side)

El Tovar at the Grand Canyon

Taking it all in...

Sunrise

Lake Mead

Good times

I have narrated some of my fond memories on this blog here and here . And in both these posts I have talked about a "big family house"... I have been skimming through my collection of photos to see if I had any pictures to share.. but sadly found none. So you can imagine how happy I was, when I saw an email from my cousin with exactly what I wanted. :)

View of the front gate from inside the compound

A glimpse of the main house

The Main structure

The side annex and the main building

The Annex

The small building on the side is the storage room. Housed all grains and what nots. This room was always locked and as kids we were never allowed to go unless in the company of an adult.

Walking down that dirt path straight ahead in between the trees was the pond.

This is where everyone gathered post lunch to chit chat... eventually ending up in afternoon naps for many adults and everything would become strangely quiet... until someone realizes it's time for the afternoon "chaya and tiffin" (tea and snacks). Did anyone count calories at all back then?

Kitchen Well - Where we got our fresh supply of drinking and cooking water. See how the pulley juts out of a window... that's actually a window in the kitchen. We cousins would have fights on deciding who would pull water from the well.

Pictures from the Concert

Here are some pictures from the Concert Day!

People gathered near the monument.

The JumboTron and my view :)

The show is over, let's get out of here ;o)
