I'm alive and well!!!
Hi Everyone!!!
I know, it's been forever since I've blogged!!! I haven't had many opportunities to use my computer the past 2 wks...and blogging at a crowded internet cafe just isn't very inspiring to me...hence the delay. However, I am using a public computer now---but I decided better just to send a quick update now and will hopefully have a chance in the near future for a "proper" blog with photos and all!
OK...so here is where Cara and I have been thus far:
Udaipur--loved it! Stayed with my friend Paul in his restored Haveli and had a very "artsy insider" udaipur experience (we even threw him a b-day dinner party on his rooftop (I am grateful Cara is still speaking with me...more on the cooking challenges in future blog)
Jodphur-Didn't love it, however had amazing shopping...so that "upped" the like factor for sure!!!Also connected with a couple that Paul is friends with and had a fab dinner at their beyond amazing "compund"!!
Jasilmer-Loved it! A stunning old fort town near Pakistan border. We stayed in a really beautifully renovated small hotel in the fort which was very special
Back to Jodphur for 3 nights and splurged at a 5 star hotel that really had 2 star service--but hey, the beds and shower were awesome...and I got to lye out by the pool one day...heavenly!
Pushkar (where I am now)-Really like it! A small "Holy" town that has a very laid back vibe..and again, good shopping. Stayed at a really cool little hotel that is the perfect place to just chill and relax. Oh yeah, apparently there is an Israeli community nearby so tons of Israeli food--had an incredible falafel pita yesterday with french fries inside--yum!!
Now we are waiting to get picked up to go to the train station (happy to report we have 1st class a/c tickets) for our next destination....Jaipur! Tomorrow we will be attending the Elephant festival (apparently they are all brightly painted, etc..) . Then we were invited to a friend's family's house to celebrate Holi--which is a huge day in India to celebrate the festival of color. We were told to only wear clothes that we wouldn't mind getting ruined because everyone throws colored powder paints at everyone--shld be an experience for sure!!!
Well that is the very edited version of my life since Feb 22nd.
Love to everyone!
Namaste,
Dayna
