...and then off to Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens

I had agreed to meet Abdul Shakour at 10 a.m. but hadn't decided on a destination. We left at 10:30 and headed for Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens. I didn't know what to expect, but it was worth the trip. The flower exhibition had just finished up yesterday, but there were a lot of flowers still available for viewing. I enjoyed the "Have Peace, No War" flower-covered globe.



To the right, is a view from the top of the gniess rock outcropping at the entrance to Lal Bagh Botanical Garden. The city of Bengalooru can be seen in the background. A very cute young couple agreed to take my photograph. The young man was kind indeed to take time away from his very pretty fiance to wield my camera.


We found numerous elementary school groups on outings to the botanical garden. On the way back we stopped at two stores that sell nicely made Indian crafts and souvenir items. I did well to resist buying much (well, I did get one small piece.)
