Baroda, Gujarat


The entrance to the Maharani Girls School



Today's common transportation to school - a far cry from when May was in Baroda


Girls play tag in the school yard



The only remaining structure from the original school - the wall



8 school girls pack into an autorickshaw at the end of the school day



School Girls see my camera and smash themselves against the window of the car for some last attention from their strange guest


Natural Gas powered rickshaws queue miles down the street for one of the few natural gas pumps in the city - I'm still not sure why they choose to drive the clean ones, but I think there must have been gov't incentives


Sad after we are not allowed to see the Maharaja



The arts faculty of the University of Baroda - one of the founders of the university was May's American roommate, Miss Strong



Monsoons and Oxen on the road



A camel draws a cart down the main road in Ahmedabad, a strange scene in this not-so-deserty place. Must be a cultural import from neighboring Rajastan.
