Orientation in Photos

We arrived at this fabulous inn in Pragpur, which is my new favorite place because we saw the Himalayas on the way up, and also because it has lovely rooms and wifi. Thus, photos.


This is me standing in front of a 600 year old well. We had orientation here on the first day. It used to fill up above the last row of what looks like windows, and people would jump in from the top.


The view from above. I was too nervous to get any closer to the edge.

My friend Julia holding the honey-butter dessert (which turns out to be only made of gee)


Me in front of the Sikh temple and purifying water


Huge piles of food on the Sikh complex (there is always food, medical help, and shelter available at Sikh temples for anyone who needs it)


Nellie, me, and Julia after blessings inside a Hindi temple


A monkey!


This is just fun


Old Delhi


See what I mean about the narrow streets and the difference in light?


a slightly wider street
