smells

I realized that I wasn't going to get any more sleep, so about 7am dehli-time, i got up. the bed just a futon on a board, so i'm pretty used to that. i asked the bellboy for some change and bought some bananas from a white haired man sitting next to piles of them. the bananas were good. its a dusty city. i went to the roof and did some yoga as the sun rose and the sound of hindu hymnals sung through load speakers. i watched some ants devour a larger bug. Later, we टूक 3wheeled रिक्क्षव्स (rickshaws) through the bustling city. it reminds me a little of mexico city, old cars, crazy driving, dust, people walking infront of everyvehicle. we visited the lotus flower shaped B'hai temple. it is awesome. of course everything is awesome here, but how this was constructed and just perfect it is. inside, we weren't allowed to speak or wear shoes, which really seemed natural. the rest of our group left and i found myself being invited to the prayer. i sat down and listened as a man sang a song, and then switched with four different readers and four differnt holy books, and then another song. it was very nice. after some chinese food(much much different than the stuff in US) we went to an underground bazaar, which was mostly annoying, but good in that it kept us awake, due to jetlag. we also visited shan jahan's observatory, a magnifecent place of stairs, angles, graduted lines on walls, astonomy, and generally cool looking buildings that are basically gigantic tools. people here have a sense of humor and have no trouble with my stupid antics. Jason, it smells pretty good here. walking down one street it can run the gambot from cow-poo to fresh herbs, beatie cigarettes to human BO, bad breath to the most delicious-smelling wafts coming from street vendors. people are waiting for me. Talk to ya'll later.
