Yay!! We’re off to Delhi today. We had talked to Dennis a few days ago and put in a request for cheese.. I can’t wait. I’ve been eating this miserable yak-cheese for the past 17 days and am looking forward to something less gooey and more tastey. As Brian mentioned yesterday we haven’t been doing a lot here.. I’ve been joking that we live from meal to meal. Yesterday we sat in a restaurant for 3 hours playing rummy, drinking Fantas and killing time until dinner. We paid one last visit to Brian’s sadhu (sadhu = holy man) last night. The sadhus have renounced all possessions (including their names) and live as nomads from one city to another. In the US we’d call them homeless, but here they’re holy and treated with respect. They were very intrigued by us and wanted to know where we were from, what we thought of India, where we were going, etc etc.. They also liked Hilary better than Obama.. lol.. I wouldn’t be surprised if we came back in a few years and saw them sitting in the same spot next to the chai stall.
We found out yesterday that we’ll be in Delhi for Holi (a huge festival of colors) so we’re hoping to partake in the color throwing. On the 23rd we depart for Kathmandu. I’m looking forward to a change in scenary. As fun as India has been over the past 6 weeks, we’re ready to move onto our next adventure.
