Rajasthan is great. It’s full of maze-like dusty streets, ridiculous mustaches, camels, Arabian style weapons and architecture, snake charmers, deserts, temples, enormous forts on hills, and many other things that are straight out of Aladdin. In a couple hours we are going out head out for our 2 day camel trek through the desert near Jaisalmer, where we currently are. Riding on a camel is something I’ve been excited about all trip so this is a nice way to finish up my last week of travel. After that we have only 1 day in Udaipur, an overnight train to Mumbai, 3 days in Mumbai, and then a long but comparatively comfortable flight back to America. See you soon!
Grandapa: There are lots and lots of places where families live and convert them into guesthouses for tourists to stay at. They are generally minimal with hardly anything more than a ceiling fan and a bathroom. There is usually only 1 drain in the bathroom so the shower sprays directly onto the floor as does the sink. Prices usually range between 4-10 dollars for a room.

Has anybody in America received a postcard from me yet?
I haven’t recieved a post card, but I most certainly got your letter with all the awesome stamps on it. That might be what you mean….maybe not. hah. im not sure. I hope you have fun riding a camel! I rode on a camel once, it was awesome. I wanted to keep it. hah. and say hello to aladdin for me if you see him stealing anything. oh man…i really want to watch that movie now.
No postcards at the Tacoma house, but I think I might’ve seen one on the fridge at 18 Beaverdam Knoll.
I sent around 12 postcards… You both should have received one. Oh well, maybe it’ll come
I hope it comes before before I leave, oh lordy. hah. if anything I can have mom send it to the asheville house for me if it arrives anytime soon.
Are you going to take any video of your camel excursion? Just how high up is a camel?
we got a postcard 7-10 days ago.
C ya Monday, son!
Didn’t take any video of the camel trek actually… but I have some pictures at least. The camel is pretty dang high. You are sitting around 7-8 feet off the ground
We have seen no postcard as yet. It will turn up later than sooner, I expect.
Can’t wait to hear you are home safe. we’ll see you soon, want to hear and see all!
Love, Auntie Bink
I feel so lucky to have got one of these vanishing postcards.
I do in fact have video of Davy riding a camel. Would youtube be the best place to upload said awesome video?
