Riots

Apparently India hasn't heard of rubber bullets and tear gas. There was some degree of anxiety regarding caste-related riots in Jaipur, as city trains and buses must go through the riots to get to Delhi, but things seemed to calm down and the bus-ways opened. So, we bought tickets, and the next day the same riot moved to Delhi where our plane flies, which blocked our bus route. There are options for getting to Delhi, but they aren't fun. Right now the talk is leaving first thing in the morning and taking a longer train around the riots which will be pretty expensive over all. They are attempting to "bring the country to a standstill", something I hope happens after we leave. If all else fails we'll have to take a plane flight on our parents' dollar and pay them back over time.

In other news, life has been good in Udaipur. I did buy a sitar, here's hoping it makes it back to the states. Brittany had sarees made and they look great. I don't have much more time for an update.
