beyond madness

3/13/08 Day 8… We’ve lost our sense of humor. In India this is as good as a death sentence for the experience. Living here is much like living in a beautiful prison, a prison with friendly but unintelligible prison guards. Sarah has been reading excerpts of the prisoner of war camp...

Jaipuuuur!

As the guy selling tickets for the bus keeps screaming; Jaipur, Jaipur JAAAAAAAIIIIIPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR! We are in Jaipur. It is the capital of Rajasthan and has some 2.4 million inhabitants, that is 1.4 million more than Stockholm and a hell of a lot smaller. It has all the attributes of an...

raining desert

3/11/08 Day 7…first full week completed. We woke to the very peculiar sensation of humidity and the sound of pattering rain and thunder. It was raining! Off-season and in the middle of the desert it was cloudy and raining. I can’t explain how bizarre it felt under the circumstances. But...

Back in the desert

3/10/08 Day 5…. We’ve resorted to spearing snakes and rats in the desert, while Dillan has fallen ill. Kidding about the former, serious about the latter. We continue to wait around for something to happen. Yesterday Giriji returned 2 days later than he said from visiting his family. ...

madness descends

3/10/08 Day 6… We got sick and went mad. Actually partially true… Dillan had stomach trouble in the morning, while Amy and I went jogging again. But in the afternoon illness—fever and stomach—hit Sarah and I and we were probably a little delirious. We watched Rang De Basante (famous...

City is the key word

3/9/08 Day 4… Our day in the city. We spent four hours riding on a bus for 5 hours of time in Jodhpur. I think it may on be 50 kilometers to Jodhpur but the many stops and poor roads make it a long and bumpy trip, though the ticket is only about 25 cents. And it was worth it; I got my...

Hello! So Udaipur... we arrived very early in the morning in Udaipur after a bumpy bus ride. So we arrive in the touristy center of the town, and of course everything is closed and a few people try to get us in their "amazing" hotels. After a while walking around not really knowing where to...
