So often I hear 'I never wanted to go there until I read your article' or 'It had never been on my 'must go to' list but now it's at the top of the list.' GREAT.<br />India: culture, history, art, people, vibrant life, and a whole world to explore! It's an essential country to experience.<br /> I can't wait to return. best, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-20780855378212962362011-02-10T02:46:59.924-08:002011-02-10T02:46:59.924-08:00Well you know how to travel to say the least!

You do feel like you are a guest at a very luxurious private palace.<br /><br />As for the Gem Palace, simply stunning jewelry that makes me swoon.<br /><br />I cannot wait to get back to India.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ClaudiaClaudia Juestelhttp://www.adeenidesigngroup.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-11939466009748200522011-02-09T13:02:09.364-08:002011-02-09T13:02:09.364-08:00Amazing photos, must visit the Rambagh Palace at s...Amazing photos, must visit the Rambagh Palace at some point, just stunning.

The jewels!<br />Yes...such a great concept--that jewels and gems live on after us, have a soul and many lives. Indians see beyond mere acquisition or 'cost' to something more spiritual.<br />San Francisco: it is 75 deg F here today and so lovely, calm and tranquil.

I keep my inherited pieces as personal memories from the past.<br /><br />Again a divine post, you know I always wanted to visit India and when I do the Gem Palace will be on my list...driven in one of the vintage cars.<br /><br />Even fashion seems to do better off here allowing you to go for cool whites or the vivid colours of India. It looks smashing whatever one chooses!<br /><br />Thanks for a great close-up look.<br /><br />My very best,<br />IngelaLove Your Homeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851498393111241566noreply@blogger.com
