Chalo = "let's go" in Hindi (one of the 3 words I learned in 2 weeks)
Today is my last day in Udaipur. I'm sad to say good-bye. Such a short trip, but I have truly begun to see charm in the daily life of the people here. The majority of my day thus far has been spent recovering from the past 2 days of Holi celebration. The color, which has not completely washed off my skin, stands as a reminder of the craziness of the celebration.... my lethargy, however, is a reminder I could do without.
We packed our bags and stashed up on food for the 12 hour train ride to Agra that starts in just a few hours. The Taj Mahal is amongst the few amazing sites planned. I'm excited to get to see some more of the countryside, and I've been putting on my game face for the potential of rodents/insects on our sleeper car. Game face go!
Sitting on the roof today, drinking our instant coffee, talking about my visit and contemplating future endeavors in travel, I realized the amazing friendships that have been formed over my trips abroad... and Udaipur has been no different. I will miss these girls (and Ram, of course)! I'm promising to send real coffee from the U.S.
