We are back from India! On our travels, we discovered that this country is home to many different cultures and historical sites, like palaces, temples, churches, mosques and tombs. We stood beside the sacred Ganges River, and toured the famous tomb, the Taj Mahal. But we had the most fun exploring India’s colorful festivals, spicy foods and vibrant artistic traditions.

I live in an apartment with my mom, dad, brother and grandfather in Delhi. It’s a really big city (over 20 million people!). The sidewalks and roads here can get very crowded, so most people take the metro to get places faster.
My favorite breakfast is aloo paratha. That’s an Indian flatbread stuffed with spiced potatoes and onions.
I like to play cricket and chess. I also make goofy videos to share with my friends.
In the morning I do my holiday (vacation) homework. That is extra work our school gives us to do over the break. When that is done, I either watch TV or play sports with my friends.
Our family goes on one holiday each summer. Last year, we went to a state on the western coast of India called Goa that is known for its beaches. Goa used to be a Portuguese province, so the buildings look different than the buildings I've seen in Delhi. We explored the beach town, went on some hikes in nature and built sand castles on the beach. The beach there is really nice.
