Happy New Year

We had a great four days at Corbett National Park. The jungle is beautiful and it was so nice to have a break from the chaotic atmosphere of the cities in India. The wildlife is very diverse in Corbett and we saw a good amount of animals. We even became celebrities for the others visiting the park after we encountered a tiger! The word must have gotten around quickly that the two white people had seen a tiger because we only told one person and before we had everyone there asking us about it and wanting to see our pictures. Unfortunately neither of us got very good pictures because the tiger crossed the road right in front of us and then went into the bush on the other side. We also saw a herd of elephants, tons of deer, lots of monkeys, wild boar, kingfishers, peacocks, and a couple of sloth bears! Ramesh was a great guide and was kind enough to invite us in his home for dinner two nights. Casey even gave his children a quick drawing lesson.
