photos from last week

Our very sweet hosts who fed us at the gurudwaaraa south of Gwalior.


Guns and motorbikes outside of Shivpuri.

Ok, I have a ton of other photos, but this is taking so long, I just can't upload them. I'm going to have to just put together a big collection after the padyatra is over and put it online on one of those slideshow websites. For now, you just have to check bhopal.net for the photos. Our cell-phone connected internet thing is just way too slow for all this uploading.

Right now everybody is dancing to drums and bells. Lots of fun. The rhythm is actually helping me work -- I feel almost hypnotized. I want to go do laundry, but I think that means I have to sit there and watch my clothes dry because people have been having their things taken by a bunch of monkeys that are running around on the roof. They are very crafty. The opposable thumb. It makes all the difference. Can you imagine if our pet dogs and cats had hands with opposable thumbs? It would be a disaster. So, that's what we're dealing with here with all these monkeys. The other day they wanted our lunch, now they want our clothes. Gotta go, got my work cut out for me. M.
