can you take the heat

3/19/08 Snapshot: Can you take the heat? I think we are finally coming to understand what is Indian heat. The last couple days each prove hotter than the last. Mornings remain cool, a tribute of the desert that when the sun disappears the sand releases the heat with only a quick...

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...

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...

A Jewelers Dream

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...

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

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...

In heaven...with cobras

3/7 Another day of inactivity followed the first. This time the excitement of the day was a 20 minutes football game following a 15 minute ride of terror on the back of a motorcycle through the sand. How do the two relate, you ask? Well you see, the football required a trip into the central...
