day 1 and 2 in india

i've been very bad about taking photos here, mostly due to laziness. it is also a little bit because there are not as many opportunities, often it is cramped and i am in someones face. but here is some from the motorized rickshaw! more are on the way, i promise.



zoe's in the mirror!



the train ride:

we got on board and discovered that we had our own cabin which is a nice halfway step for our next ride. there were people selling food, but non of them looked really official. later i discovered you buy food when the train stops at a station for about 1 to 2 minutes. you purchase your goods from a sort of-but not at all- official vendor. the vendors yell "coffeeing, coffee, coffeeing!" or just "chai, chai, chia!" i couldn't understand what they were yelling for food, something in tinfoil.

this movie makes me dizzy, but so did the train. after a 12 hour ride i was so hungry, zoe and i had some awesome dosas for breakfast that costed less than 50 cents each.
