Bangalore, India. My wife and I spent all of April and part of May, 1995 in Bangalore making the final arrangements for the adoption of our daughter from St. Michael's Home and getting to know some of the people and the region. We spent most of our time in Bangalore, a major city in the state of Karnataka in southern India. Although it is now called Bengaluru, I will always think of it as Bangalore. I was able to spend a weekend in Mysore, and my wife spent two days enduring the May heat in Madras. This site is my attempt to document some of our experiences and observations of India.
