It was the KIng of Moral's bithday yesterday. Yhe temple was all decorated tea lite candles lit the step Festivities included lots of sword fighting simulations and fire eating by the young men of the town all accompanied by loud drumming which made it all quite frenetic We were able to watch this from the comfort of a roof top resturant. All this was accompanied by loud colorful fireworks probably more gunpowder than we get in NZ
Education is not a right here the poor often can't educate their children so they work today when we had lunch at a street stall two boys prob 4 and 6 were slushing out they dishes. Donkeys cows and yesterday an elephant roam the streets only the cows are not attended by a human.
At the hotel they are doing renovations two woman carry sand for the cement in big shallow dishes on their heads, other women and children rake through rubbish looking for things of value I guess.
Still no rain to speak of but according to the locals not long now. It has reached Jaipur so I guess we will meet it there.
I think our plan is to watch the football tonight.
