Lucky gals...






Jenna and Hannah are staying in Jodhpur, Rajasthan teaching young village women and conducting various art projects with them. It seems galaxies away from Kalimpong to me, but extremely beautiful nonetheless. Next time I go to India, this place will be stop number one. Hannah took all of these pictures on her digital. Obviously they could tell you more about them, but I'll try to lay out the basics.

from bottom: 1) view of Jodhpur, the blue city. 2) village Golia girls that they work with. 3) the massive Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur which dominates the entire landscape of the city 4) Jenna, Hannah and some ornate art-deco stylings at the Umaid Bhawan Palace 5) Jenna in the Mandore Gardens with a stick to fend off the animals. Must be nice to see some "green" after being in the desert for so long 6) Wandering cow in the blue city.

They look like they are having a great time in an amazing place. I'm jealous...

That enclosed 'city' reminds me of the place they call Shangri-La that was the hidden city way up near Tibet, through tunnels in the rock, behind the mountains. PBS had a wonderful documentary on it. I don't know what the Indian name really is.
