Indian camels...watch out, they spit!

We are in Jodpur now, and I actually found a fast internet connetion! Of course, it's a billion degrees in here so this won't be long.

We went on a camel ride in the desert to watch the sunset. Riding a camel is a lot more comfortable than I thought! They don't guide like horses, but they sure last longer on long treks. They can go up to 80 kilomenters in a day without water!

The eggs here have white yokes. We're not sure why, don't know what the chickens eat, but hope it's not the same garbage the cows and pigs eat. Needless to say, I've been sticking to a veggie diet. I helped set a hash run this morning at sunrise and we had a lot of fun bringing the other hashers through a park, past a pile of broken razor blades, and around a palace and a temple. The ants wasted no time eating the flour we used to set trail.

Well, I was supposed to join the group in a shopping excursion, but I got tired of the street boys hassling me into their shops. I'm too hot to think of anything else to type. Don't know how these computers can stay functioning in this weather.

Love to you all!
Carla
