Playing Tourist

November 3rd

My time with the family is etching to an end.

I finally got custom made indian clothes made for me.. officially an indian. Heheh. Im still trying to get used to wearing a scarf backwards. It tends to fall off.. but it's something to work on!

I went to a touristy built up indian village of Rajasthan.. It was a really something else.

I road a camel, I made my first clay pot! It is so much harder than it looks. I tried some interesting Rajastanian food. The food that sticks out in my mind the most, was this ball shaped hollow pastry, and then it is filled with some sort of spiced milk, and you have to eat it whole! I found it kind of awkward, because it is about the size of a ping pong ball, filled with milk, maybe if it were smaller I could have enjoyed it better .

I watched a puppet show, and a magic show. Which was amazing! I have never seen anything like it. The last trick the magician did, he took one of my rings, held it under a blanket, had us hold it, then he waved his hand above the (very thin) blanket, and suddenly I was not holding the ring anymore. He reached over to the other side of the stage, and grabbed a tomato. He slowly started to cut into the tomato, piece by piece. I could see through the pulp of the tomato a bit, and could see that my ring was there!!! He cut more off of the tomato and got my ring out!! It was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed.

I also had my fortune told, I can't remember exactly what the guy said, I think he said that I would have twins, I would live in America most of my life, and I am an engineer (hehe which isn't true) He said some other things, but sometimes it's nicer to not get your fortune told. What's the point of receiving someone else's interpretation of your own life story? Hmm anyway

I also watched a tight tope walker and some other really talented acts!
