we survived a bus trip with no vomit and arrived in pushkar. it is a very religious town. they do not serve eggs, meat, or alcohol in the whole town (some sneaky restaurant do serve eggs on the sly). the town is built up on a lake, that supposedly was formed when brahma dropped a lotus flower. and thus claims to have the one brahma temple in india. an interesting village with a lot of charm. there is definitely more tourists here though mostly of the backpacking hippie genre. zoe is happy because it means non spicy food like spaghetti!
there are tons of textiles and handicrafts on sale here. thinking about sending some stuff home. there was a man hand carving out all these blockprint stamps by hand on the side of the road. was pretty cool, zoe fell in love with the butterflies!
we found a place where they gave dance lessons, so we let zoe try, but surprisingly she was not all into it. (she claimed because she wanted a girl teacher). but the teacher was understanding and switched it to a drum lesson, though i think eijla was more involved in the lesson than zoe!
