It's only been a week?
Hello - just left a long comment in the post just before this one.
What can I say? Peacocks sound like meowing cats, our guide looks like he stepped off a Bollywood screen (think HOT) and I spent yesterday evening chatting with an Indian royal (his historic fort is was our hotel).
Food is excellent, dust is incredible. Rather hot in the day and very cool at night.
Every place brings new discoveries - have taken a billion pictures and bought a few things. Have to be careful to keep pack light, as still have 3 weeks to go.
So far, have seen sights of Delhi, Agra, and now Jaipur. Taj Mahal was amazing, but Agra Fort even more so. Some very powerful places here. Yesterday, in a small village, the children ran up to us asking "one photo!", then they would pose, standing very still. As a village that is relatively untouched by tourists, they didn't ask for money or candy, just wanted to have their pictures taken. Wow.
Will check e-mail whenever possible.
Namaste.

No batik sightings as yet.
Jaipur is a shopping heaven. Am addicted to salwar kameez (it's the long tunic worn over loose pants) and now own 3 different ones.
Will have to carry this crap on my back for 3 weeks...

No post offices to ship the stuff? What are you going to do if you want to buy something heavy? I am getting itchy feet because of you.....

i'm so glad your there...soak it up girl!
i didn't even think to ask you to get me a "miniture" painting...you know the itsy bitsy paintings that inspired strega's murals. you know, if you see one, and it's cheap, and you don't have too much to carry....
i had my ultrasound today. the baby looks like an alien! it was facing us head on so it looked a little spooky! it refused to move for a better picture, that must mean it's a girl. and it's kicking too... well i saw it kick and i felt it so now i know that wierd feeling i've been having wasn't gas or a spasm or something. pretty amazing stuff!
looking forward to your next update. kel:)

We are going to a village that specializes in miniature paintings, so will be able to do that! Kelly - bought you a ragged old antique-y looking pillow cover, decorated with mirrors and frayed and faded fabric. I know, I know, you will love it.

V,
Glad you are having a great time. I'm so jealous..hehe.. this winter I never got that nice long break... (well, I guess I could have counted the 3 week vacation back home for xmas) ...it was rainy and chilly, but nice nonetheless). Can't wait for your pictures though :) Miss you...
Take care :)
Love April :)
