Bill Hawke – Managing Editor of Diplomatist Magazine – here. My 20-year-old grandson Brandon Hawke is visiting Linda and me in India and shares his first impressions with our readership. Here’s Brandon:

Hello folks.

Since my arrival back on 04 August (2009), I’ve been writing notes about India. Old Gramps saw them and offered to post them on the Diplomatist Website. If you decide to read my work, please be aware that I’ve led a pretty shelter life so far. For instance, I’ve never been out of North America until now. Therefore some of my observations (the things that I find fascinating) may be ‘old hat’ to some of you who have been in India before, or who live here. Anyway, I hope you find them interesting. Contact me if you wish. My email address is ‘hawkebrandon%hotmail.com’. *

* You’ll realize that the percent sign in the email stands for the ‘at’ sign.

So, here are my stories:

1. First Impressions of India

2. Trip to Jaisalmer

3. Trip to Agra and Taj Mahal

4. Along the way

Regards,

Brandon Hawke
