Jaipur and Holi Photos

Namaste everyone,

After a hectic week 1, we have settled into our Jaipur routine. Every day begins with Hindi class, followed by a speaker centered on topics such as Religion, Culture, and the Arts. After the speaker we head out on a field trip to a related area of the city: Hindu and Jain temples, the City Palace, Amer fort, a hand made paper factory, the Ayurvedic Institute, and many others.

The afternoon is dedicated to Independent Study Projects. Jeremy, Haley, Margie, and Jack are all doing Yoga with our local coordinator Shivani Ji, and Eliot is conducting interviews with a variety of Jaipur's citizens through the help of a teacher and former body builder Babu Bhai.

Holi was fun and colorful. The whole group got into it. Here are a few photos from the day:

Looks like a great time.. Paintball fight India style. I miss Haley Hoff.. India sure is lucky to have her visit, I am sure they are learning as much from the entire group as they are learning from them. Take on the next adventure like it was the first. Love Dad
