Back in Udaipur, I found a great tailor and had my favorite travel shirt copied and a pair of skinny-leg black linen pants made. They will be ready tomorrow! He's fast and does excellent work. What a luxury at a cheap price. And he will wait for the money until I get my card!
The days here melt into one another as women beat clothes on the ghats. Children dive into the lake while their fathers bathe. Tourists come for a few days and leave. Aid workers have lengthy stays in hotel rooms. Restaurant workers and shopkeepers hope for a better tourist season next year. Life rolls on.
What I would find repetitive and boring, they are content with. Even the poor are quick with a smile and appear happy. Men & women come to the communal water pump early in the morning to fill buckets, ceramic pots, and jugs of stainless steel with the days water. The cows gather at the trash cans to forage for food competing with dogs and chipmonks for prime morsels.
My card arrived today from Florida to Udaipur, India in 5 days! I am impressed! I now have a stomach thing going on however, and don't feel like leaving. As soon as I got a break in the "faucet", I went to the pharmacy to get meds. Here you can skip the doctor and just go straight to the pharmacy. I am so sick that I went back to bed and my friend from the UK, Niki, brought me porridge. It is so nice to have friends! My stomach better get well soon as I have a train ticket to Bundi tomorrow.
