Hey Y'all
We're ending our tour of Rajasthan and catching a night train from Dehli to Gaya tonight. Tomorrow is "Holi", a Hindu festival where people go crazy and throw colored water and powder on everyone. I've been through one of these before and I'm bracing myself. Sheri and I rode an elephant up to a big fort in Jaipur. It was highly touristy but good fun. Our drive from Udaipur to Pushkar was probably one of the most stressful drives I've experienced. The road is a truck route so was heavily trafficked and maybe it was better to just read a book rather than look out the wind screen and see what was going on. Passing and being passed, passing right, passing left, three way passing, and the occasional lunitic, straight up, driving on the wrong side. On a particularly curvie narrow section a man was pushing a bicycle rigshaw loaded with little elephant statues up hill, taking the lane.
Well the next entry will be from Bodhgaya and we'll have something more relevant to say about the school, the teachers, and the children.
Cheers to all.
