Jed In India

This is where I will post stories and pictures of my time in India, from Febuary 10-June 1. I will post as much as I can, or maybe I'll be lazy about it. In the mean time, you can check out the board of the program I'll be on most of the time at http://www.wheretherebedragons.com/bulletinboard/bulletin.htm That will be updated often, not necessarily by me.

Travel update

So I'm in Jaipur right now, but I'm taking the evening train to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. I'm going to see the taj tomorrow morning at sunrise, and then go to Gwailor, a small city with a fort south of Agra, and then to Jhansi, which is the railhead for Kujaharo, which is supposed to have the best temples in India, with erotic designs on them, and then back through Orchha (perhaps) to catch a train to delhi from Jhansi. Orchha is just a charming small town, maybe worth a night.

So Jaipur, it's the place everybody comes when they come to India, on the golden tourist triangle of delhi-agra-jaipur, but it's sort of unimpressive to me. Maybe I would like it more if I had seen it before i saw the rest of Rajastan, which was fantastically beautiful. So I'm getting out a day earlier than I planned.

OK, more later, sometime. Sorry the blogging is getting more erratic.
peace
jed
