Udaipur

And now I am in Udaipur which is said to be one of the most romantic cities in India...and yes it is lovely and busy and it feels as if there is so much to do and so little time, but I guess this is only the essence of my nature rather then the places I have been. The first morning I arrived in Udaipur I ran into the friends from Varanasi that I helped do the boat party with....so the synchronousity of my trip seems to continue. I have spent the past few days running around with them. They bought a van so we were able to get out of the city yesterday and go for a drive to the Jan temples, which were constructed around 600 B.C. They were extraordinary and the day itself was sublime. We stopped and they cooked under a tree that I absolutely fell in love with....and of course had to climb. So they are leaving in a few days to go back to all of the places I have just come from. My curiosity tempts me to cancel my plans and follow these incandescent Israelis....so we will see which way the wind blows. I have enrolled in a yoga course in Mumbai, so that might be an option...or my original plan to stick around Rajasthan until my plane leaves on the 22 of February for Thailand. So all of these options have left my mind and heart in a labyrinth of emotion. I seem to have been following a steady breeze....and now the airs are changing all around me....and since I am in India I think it is time to consult a mystic....one that a very dear friend recommends. So after this we will see where the tide turns. Besides this Udaipur has been fun. There are some lessons we are meant to learn alone....and others that we must have the assistance of others. And although my plans were to find my alone time in Rajasthan, this again is not the case. I guess loneliness is not an adjective I will have trouble with on this trip, and while I am in Udaipur I will be taking Indian cooking classes, so hopefully I can come home with some skills....but we'll see how that goes. And from sanguine to cantankerous my mind has shifted, but as always with the winds of my heart there is nothing a good nights sleep will not alleviate.
