After spending the past eight days there, I can just picture the scenario. We are pretty proud that we somehow managed to avoid any scams. Still, it was really wearing. Hilarious!

I was part of a large organized group in college and even then we couldn't escape the scams. On the way back from the Taj Mahal we were locked in a warehouse to buy Indian rugs for 3 hours. There was a presentation and a parade of sheep (to prove they were wool rugs) a lot of grief when we all said no to the $800 rugs and then a hurry to get on the bus to be taken to the next "brother's" store for shopping. Every time we managed to escape we were actually got sucked in by a different scammer. I loved India but can't imagine trying to navigate it by myself. Again- you are my heros!
