cow town

Left the organic farm and headed to cow town to check out the camel festival…we were in the last row corner and the only whities on the bus for eight hours…one thing that’s nice about being a traveler in India is that your never going to outnumber the locals…theres just too many of them. Like we tried to go to the rat temple on the bus and they jammed it so packed with people in the rows that I just couldn’t stand it and we had to bail out and catch a ride back after like ten minutes…the irony of the rat temple is your forced become one in order to get there.
India is a place where pigeons and parrots share the same meal and dogs and cows snuggle on the streets. Strangers share your blankets and fires warm us in the streets. It’s a friendly place…maybe a little too friendly even. The big question on the streets is what is your country and to this we say America…Canada…Michigan….new york…Africa…neener neener...or nothing, cause were tired of answering it. I have no idea what day it is and I don’t care…time is stress…forget about it. Its pretty cold here at night so we wear lots of scarf and shall to stay warm…the locals just walk around in giant wool blankets like slumber party on the streets and slumber party dinner.
Anyways bikaner we coined cow town cause theres literally thousands of cows living in the streets wandering around the city. There like giant garbage disposal eating whatever they can rummage up…the market vendors all have sticks to keep the cows from eating the produce…the cows got ahold of some union skins and cause a traffic jam...but its nice to have their slow demenor its such a busy country. India is always keeping us on our toes like walking the streets tonight it went piss, shit, cow, horn, moto, waste, gutter, dog…all with distinct maneuvers in a matter of three seconds. But its doesn’t always have to be like that…like in bikaner we walked for eight hours through the residential and commercial alleys of the old city…the building are magnificently carved out of stone with detail and beauty that is hard to imagine…its like walking around a museum that people live in...very special and ancient indeed.
