discovering the area

still in pushkar. fell in love with this place, like many others. EVERY day there is a wedding, people dancing in the streets, loud music....colorful people.
we indian travellers like to talk about the energy of a place =))
whatever it is - it is like therapy for me.
i am the happiest i have been in a long time. for no special reason. maybe it is the daily yoga, the amazing food (discover something new every day....not just indian but food from all over the world...israel for example...) or the sun. probably a combination of it all.
the day before yesterday we rented scooters and went to a temple 15 km out of town. lovely place, very isolated and peaceful. no one but us there. we walked around in the desert,



had a little picknick. riding a scooter here is fabulous!!!! i was a little nervous about driving on the wrong side of the road...but you get used to it. i guess there is a little james dean in me: love the speed, love the driving.
yesterday we went out again with the scooters and ended up feeding monkeys a little outside of town....the mokeys are so human, especially when they look at you. they grab your hand and the pick the nuts from your palm, bit by bit. have some pictures to share again. will be my task for tomorrow.
heading out for dinner now, two of the regulars of the hotel are leaving tomorrow and we are having a goodbye dinner.
there is a dessert here that is to die for, called HELLO TO THE QUEEN...it is fried banana, vanilla ice-cream, topped with cookie crumbles, nuts and hot chocolate sauce. it is a meal in its own, but it is o-so-amazing!!!!
