Almost famous.

I’ve had this happen before, but never like this.

Apparently, the tourists touring India in June are predominately Indian. We were definitely in the minority at all of the tourist spots as light skinned Westerners… and in high demand. Nearly every time we paused during our trip, there was someone there with a special request, “Can I take a photo of you?”

I didn’t mind too much, but it certainly makes you feel silly.

The young men I understand. But the families… too funny. Parents were eager to have their children snuggle up next to me… or even asked me to pose with the entire family. I can’t begin to imagine how they will explain my presence in their family albums.

I wish I had a photo for every time it happened, but I think you get the idea.

xo, jill

    Hahaha….After 6 months in India I can totally relate to your post. I had the same experiences over and over again. Feeling like ‘the anonymous celebrity’ and indeed a bit silly.
