Flag of India Pushkar, Rajasthan, India
Sunday, February 20, 2011

We spent most of the day in the car heading up to Pushkar so there's nothing new to write about. It was the same bumpy craziness on the road, the same animals cluttering up the road, and the same jerks running the same reststop restaurants.

Today's reststop jerk came up to me after giving us the immensely overpriced bill to tell me that the tip is not included. I already had ten rupees set down but upon hearing this I told him that it was very rude to ask for a tip and I took back 5 rupees. Kasia asked him if he asked everyone this and he said "No, only for Americans."

As we stormed out Jen went to use the toilet but a huge rat beat her to it, and as we left the restaurant (I sat shotgun today because Mr. Singh’s obsessive horn honking was making her flip out) we passed a dog who presumably had killed a huge pig and he was up to his ears in swine innards goodness

At least someone is eating well!

Today we just wandered through the city, making sure to get “special lassis” ("Bhang" lassis)which are basically marijuana shakes. To me they tasted like a banana shake but it definitely did its job in getting Jen and Kasia high, so hooray for giggling company. We ate an amazing brick oven pizza at a place that snuck us glasses of Kingfisher since it’s illegal to serve alcohol within one kilometer of the Temple, so hooray for rulebreakers.

I'm excited to do some yoga tomorrow morning but I've learned the importance of schedules the hard way so I'm not getting my hopes up.
