Hey everyone!
I'm in Pondicherry (officially, Puducherry, and to all us locals which is now you too it's Pondy). Pretty hungry at the mo, and heading for a nice meal at the ashram (Rs 20 for an all-day three-meal pass! can you believe that?? Currently it's about Rs 50 for an American dollar). But I am finally able to upload some pics, so here you go, and hopefully later I'll be back to give you some insider's views about lovely Pondy. I am feeling much more chilled-out today than when I first arrived here. And I think my blood cells are mostly replenished, because I was majorly chomped on by mosquitos the first two nights here. I finally sourced a mosquito net and some string, and now my bed is not littered with dead mosquito bodies and smears of blood upon my waking.
And for the pics:
here's a rice paddie near the Buddha Smiles school, where we all were
school kids! after a clay animal making workshop
he's the man. the guy who owns the bakery in the village. jolly!

hey girl! thanks - it's definitely intense here, and beautiful, and everything in between :)
hey! you! nice to see your grinning gob :)
...well...still navel-gazing, just the external geography has changed a bit.
