happy thanksgiving



















































































































guess i missed it... never do know what day it is but happy thanksgiving to all! hope you had a wonderful holiday. i am definitely giving thanks for everything/everyone i have. today i am thinking of you all and also the families of the loved ones killed in the latest bomb blast in mumbai. so much evil and beauty in this world... it's impossible to fathom. i'm finally feeling ready to come home with just a week and a half or so to go. see you all soon but will, of course, be checking in again before then.
jaisalmer camel trek was fun and i'm currently in pushkar after visiting jodhpur. pushkar's a cool city full of holy men and dreadlocked hippies. i'm hoping to rent a bike tomorrow and burn a few calories despite my behind still being sore from the camel safari. anyway, off for now.

figured that wasn't drew :) yeah funny the sahara dunes were soo beautiful but my thar experience was so much nicer sans the poo mines, wanka tourists and disenchanted guide. i was tempted to sleep out in the dunes but then the couple i was w/ mentioned they'd heard it was dirty, noisy and place for drunkards and i was instantly snapped back in time... quashed that idea and slept poo-free in the safety of my dome hut!
