On the road to Jodhpur...

Jodhpur Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

I'm taking my wanderlust to a new level by shedding everything familiar and safe and hitting the road with a one way ticket and lots of guts. I start in Ireland, with planned stops in E. Europe before arriving in Egypt, then onto Tanzania for a Mt. Kili climb/safari before arriving in Zanzibar. From there, S. Africa, India, SE Asia, Australia/NZ, and eventually S. America. Afterward skidding home on fumes of glory, whereupon I will quickly be couch-surfing until I can land on my feet again.

On the road to Jodhpur...

Local riding his bike through a town on the road to Jodhpur
...I saw the usual assortment of cows, goats, pigs (and piglets), cats, dogs, monkeys and donkeys, all foraging for food; children squatting on the side of the road trying to take their morning dump; men standing for all to see, pissing into the wind; an outdoor classroom of children neatly seated in rows on the ground; a woman taking her morning bath, naked from the waste up, in full view while others sipped chai nearby; lots of colorful turbans, with one man accessorizing his with a snazzy pair of goggles (oh, if I only could've grabbed a photo of him!); children barely clothed, dirty all over, begging for any scrap of food they could find; women carrying two or three pots on their head as they went to collect water for the family; cow carcasses being picked clean by vultures; trash, trash and more trash; and an endless number of autorickshaws, cars, buses, lorries, motorbikes, bicycles, carts and pedestrians, all busy about their day.
