Scoot Scoot

Ah, today we were free! :)
Now, our trip to Udaipur hasn’t exactly been strenuous by any means and all we have been doing is relaxing and enjoying but today was different.
We decided to rent a scooter and go exploring.   We checked out our map and decided just to go where the wind took us.  Fabulous.  Now, in hindsight, I would have taken the bandana my bro had offered me back in Canada as I didn’t become famished until very late in the day and I suspect it is partly because I ingested enough flies to tie me over.  Small details.
It did take me awhile to get comfortable with Dan’s driving, not because he is a bad driver, on the contrary he is great.   It was the other Indian drivers and now that we weren’t on foot or trusting another driver with our lives, I noticed the traffic a little more.  Also, I am from a country where it is illegal to ride without a helmet and today I ran the risk of losing my brains in a awful mess on the pavement.  Alas, we made it safely home- how, I do not know as we drove and drove and drove.  There are absolutely no street signs and every village and street looks the same to me.  I have to marvel at Dan’s amazing ability to find his way home- it is almost primal :) 
So, I will finish by saying that this was a great way to see the countryside.  The people are so amazing here, that literally everyone we crossed paths with today either smiled or said hello.  Scoocum.
