We had every intention to sleep this morning, however, we have been waking up so early every day that we woke up naturally at 8 am. At this point, Antoine found one of the wall plugs and we began charging his phone right away. He put the solar panel charger outside so maybe we could […]

We started our day with a nice continental breakfast and some of this amazing lychee juice drink. During the drive, on the highway, I decided that we should see the pretty parts of India, not just the highway. I told Antoine to make a turn inland and we found ourselves in a forest. At one […]

The alarm goes off at 5:30 am this time around, the sun isn’t even up yet. We pack up everything and head down to our little rickshaw. The morning haze was calming. A security guard watches us curiously watches us pack everything, he even helps us a little bit. So I got a picture of […]

Today we grabbed breakfast at 9 and decided to go to a village market on Anastasia’s recommendation. When we got there we were quite scared that the market we wanted wasn’t happening because we couldn’t see it, but after asking a security guard we were pointed in the right direction. We walked up and […]
