I am having the time of my life. This is the adventure that I was really needing to do. I am doing too much to be able to describe the day to day things that I have been doing. But I am going to try to tell each "adventure" as best as I can. Everyday is an adventure. Almost every mundane thing you can imagine, like getting something to eat means getting some totally new looking and tasting dish for dirt cheap.
I am in Bundi, soon to leave on a night bus to Udaipur. I have been told that 10 people die every night in India on the roads. This is because the people drive just as crazy as in the day, and many do not have lights. The bus ride here was like being hand washed by the many Indian women I see scrubbing and bashing clothes against rocks to wash them. It was that bumpy.
Chris, a friend from Ashland who I'm traveling with, and I had to dry our clothes inside our room because the monkeys would take them. The owners of the place have two guns to shoot them. The monkeys here have adapted to living amongst the humans, they sleep in the hills around town and come down in the day to forage.
This trip is amazing. There is no real way to convey this experience without actually being here. Many times it feels like a whole new world. Standards just aren't the same here. I am exhausted, I have a bus to catch tonight and we rode 30 kilometers to a waterfall in the desert today.
