First we have a few selections from a trip we made with Swapna-tai. We were planning to go see some temples, but instead we ended up visiting a friend of hers who was a sculptor. He had a gorgeous place, up in the mountains.
This piece was actually really cool; it's a portrait of a local swami. He hadn't finished it yet- he has to mist it every once in a while to keep it moist so he can work on it. Here's what it actually looks like:
And now for another slice of life in the hostel: dealing with roaches!
This is one of several attempts to fumigate the apartment. We seem to be doing okay right now, though.
Jeannie and Erin are dressed appropriately; the sprays smelled so bad. (Also, Jeannie is ready with a flip-flop in her hand in order to kill any roaches that escape. Deven and I are just along for the picture-taking ride.)
We were jamming to "Bug City." (We also played Also Spach Zarathustra, and I had to sit in the corner for a while because I actually know the name for the theme for 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's not my fault that I come from a family of music nerds!)
I'm going to make a separate post for my village pictures because there are a lot of them.
