excursion #1

We will head out to Jaiselmer tomorrow morning at 8:30 am. I am extremely excited about this excursion, especially after the daily routine here that we've established so far.
Traveling within India is really expensive, so we've made plans and canceled them so many times that I'm glad that we've finally settled on something.
It's terribly hot everywhere and it is the off tourist season so things are a bit quiet.

There are tiny things about Udaipur that are really growing on me. The bright colors of doors here are very eye catching, at least to me. They are bright red, or bright green, or really bright blue or yellow with a hand painted picture of a Raja on a horse or a Rajasthani woman, and the entire door has decorative floral borders around it.
Or the tiny tiny little shops. the smallest spaces, like a bit of space underneath a stair case of some house is turned into a shop.

anyways, the day has been slow and slug and i've felt extremely unproductive. update on Jaiselmer coming up soon :)
