ARRIVAL

WE MADE IT!!
after what felt like the longest voyage (18 hours flying, six hour train), we made it to Jaipur.
Jaipur or the "Pink City" is busy but not as overwhelming as Delhi, which was so intense you kind of need to instantly leave. We were only in Delhi for a few hours but long enought to see that there is, SOO MUCH TRAFFIC THERE, like I am talking half hour grid locks and inch by inch moving while holding down the horn. I would say driving in India is quite the experience.

We left Delhi via train to Jaipur where we met, Vinod, our volunteer coordinator. Since then we have been in Jaipur going to Hindi classes and exploring. Tomorrow we leave for Sikar where we will start teching english in a school.

We have made some autorickshaw driver friends who have taken us on a few all day tours around Jaipur, we have seen some temples, palaces, forts and elephants. Tomorrow we are going to meet with our friend Ali's Guru so he can tell us about our spirituallity and he wants to read our auras. And so our quest to enlightenment begins...

Namaste
