Postcard from Jodhpur, India
October 5th, 2008. India
First of all, I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to all of the Hindu families that lost husbands, fathers, sons, brothers and uncles in the trajic event that happened at the Jodhpur Fort this past Tuesday, October 1 where over 200 people were killed in a stampede during the religious festival of Navratra. You can read more here.
Jodhpur...the Blue City
In our travel news, we arrived safely in Jodhpur early yesterday morning from an exhausting 12+ hour train ride from Agra. So far we have walked through the streets, ventured up to the fort and taken a 5 hour Indian cooking class. The cooking class with a Saphron Lassi has been the highlight so far, and I’ll tell you all about it later. I hope you are doing well!
Sorry to hear about the stampede too. Navratri is a fun festival, I hope you get the chance to go out and dance. Nice picture :)
