Good morning :) Everything is good here. Two days ago, there was a blast in Varanasi, very lucky of me to delay the trip there. Here all is quiet, we're travelling around the villages, planning to go to Ajaigar and Kalingar, it's about 40 km from here, places where the maharajas lived in the mountains... Two days ago I've met an amazing man, his name is Rajendra, he's a master of wood carving. Hi sits in his shop, with his little son, working all day, making beatiful sculptures from avoni tree roots. The wood is very hard, it's a very dilligent work, each piece takes about 5 days to make, so he said. He works just like his father and grandfather did, although now he can sell his masterpieces to tourists and rich Indian people. In the old days, this art was used to religious ceremonies and dancing. We've also been to his house... Very nice man, quiet, smile's always shining on his face :)
Anyhow, still don't know about that Varanasi trip... Prefer to stay where it's quiet, although it's becoming really hot :) See you later!
