Hello from Pushkar India,

It is 2pm here and very hot and this is winter I cant imagine the summer time. Bits is taking a nap and I am obviously on the computer. Here are some pictures from our two night three day camel safari. The first one on the left is Manreet our hindu speaking camel man wearing bits's sunglasses. He would get very excited and talk in hindu to us but we would not understand and when we tried to talk in hindu to him we could not pronuce anything well enough for him to understand but at least we tried. The second one is of a home in the desert were we stopped for a lassi and Indian tea both were made with fresh cow milk from the back of the house. The huts are constructed using cow dung, sand, and a bit of water. You cant see them but they would also make designs in the walls with their fingers. The last picture is of Manreet getting some milk from a village man because we ran out and Indian tea is just not the same with out it. It is made by boiling black tea, sugar, and milk and then strained into glasses.
