India in-da-house

hello! we are in varanasi.. went for a boat ride on the ganges yesterday and saw some cremations and bathing and laundry. yaya cool. Not really in the mood to blog... we have a long train ride tonight but i will do some main facts:

- we saw mt. everest
- we went on an elephant-back ride through the jungle
- we saw rhinos and monkeys and deer andbirds and stuff
- indians make the best food in the world
- people here understand every english word except for no
- i am spending new years on a train
- we have six new people joining our group tomoorow... that will make a total of 11!
- the matresses here are really just for show
- when you order food in rural areas you have to allow at least an hour for it to arrive, because they literally go out and catch or buy the ingredients after you order
- i have a chest cold which is annoying
- mum got her haircut yesturday by a lady with no english skills... hilarious! but it looks fine (depending on your taste :) )
- i am craving music that i can sing along to
- that is all

love you guys!
