Tea at Sharma's house with his family on 8/19/20 (Sharma is our driver for these two days. The hotel manager at the last hotel pulled him out of his ear, and we feel very lucky. ) His daughter is an MBA and college lecturer, and his son is going to school to study food engineering. He is also an artist. Perhaps I will post one of his masterpieces. His beautiful wife is from Jaipur, which we missed on this particular tour.

They served us 8,000 kinds of cookies and rich sweets, and we discussed everything from real estate to politics to compulsary toe rings for married Hindu women. A good time was had by all!

We feel into a deep sleep at our luxurious hotel, only I awoke at three a.m, as I often do when I travel...feeling like it's Christmas every day!!! Love it here!
