A normal weekend...You know, we went to a camel fair

Just another weekend, except that we explored India's own famous camel festival, which takes place every year at the end of November in Pushkar, Rajasthan. We really had the opportunity to do and see some new things on this trip. For example...

We got to play with swords.


We got to try sugar cane like our Indian brothers and sisters.


Well, feeding camels I guess doesn't exactly make the list of new things. But I still am not quite an expert with these animals, which are the closest things to dinasoars I have ever seen that still exist on Planet Earth.


Ruth kissed one. I'm not really down with that, NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT!


And then we got to see what was maybe the last thing I expected to see. But then again, in India you kind of start expecting the unexpected. What could those three be in such awe of?
Stunts straight out of a traveling circus. It was awesome.

Well, at least half the giant group fit in this farewell-to-Pushkar-oh crap-we-only-have-beds-for-half-of-us photo.
