Back From Rajasthan!

Hello readers,
I got back from Rajasthan yesterday and had a day off today.
During the trip, I got a chance to REALLY think, I mean really think.
The bus rides were ridiculously long - my head is overflowing of ideas at the moment.
Have too many things to write about.

Here's a brief outline of what our trip was like:
Oct. 5th - left Vizag, arrived in Jaipur the Pink City
Oct. 6th - Jaipur; visited Amber Fort; Elephant and Camel Rides; first round of shopping
Oct. 7th - left Jaipur early in the morning; arrived in Jodhpur, the Sun City, and visited Merangarh Fort and walked down the Market Street
Oct. 8th - left Jodhpur and stopped at Ranakpur for the famous Jain Temple; finally arrived in Udaipur and visited Sahleion Ki Bari
Oct. 9th - Udaipur; the City Palace and the Museum of Folk Art
Oct. 10th - Puskar for the only Brahma Temple in the world
Oct. 11th - left Pushkar at 5:30am, drove through Jaipur and finally arrived in AGRA! the Taj Mahal
Oct. 12th - left Agra at 6:30am, drove to Delhi and hopped on the plane heading to Vizag
Oct. 13th - no school; 4th visit to the slum

This is just a brief introduction....
Since we spent so much time on the bus, I got to write a lot for the first time.
My journal has so much writing in it!!!

I never really understood the fun of writing before - I did write occasionally for myself but usually things I wrote were all related to academics, submitted for grades. I know that it's a cliche, but I think I finally started to grasp the beauty of writing!
