October 4 – Afternoon - Rain Stopped for Game Viewing

Thank goodness the rain stopped so we could go to the Park for the game viewing. We rode in a canter (open 4-wheel drive vehicle) so we could see from both sides. The naturalist who was with us explained about the sounds that the deer make when a tiger in nearby. We did see tiger tracks along the way but no tiger. Saw many peacocks and other birds, deer, and other wildlife. We kept stopping for photos and to listen for the signal sounds of the deer. At one point, we headed over to an area where other canters were, all waiting to see the elusive tiger. We were limited in our search by having to stay in the one assigned sector (3) by the government. The weather was good, though it did rain very lightly. In spite of not seeing the tiger, we enjoyed the sights and the ride.

Prior to leaving, I visited the shop and had a fitting for an outfit that would be made that afternoon so I could pick it up that evening. When I picked it up, I bought a scarf to go with it. Steve had a sash made to go with the outfit he purchased earlier on the trip. We’ll wear them at our farewell dinner in Varanasi.
