Jodhpur - part 2

For the ones following my medical condition here goes the good news: no diarrhea today.

Other than that not much to say, I am just getting better slowly. Stopping the malaria medicine seems to do the trick. But I lost so much energy that it will take some time to be fully functional again.

Muriel did go see the Maharadja palace yesterday. From the pictures she brought it looks beautiful. I hope I'll go tomorrow.

We also met several travelers. This place is really very welcoming. The open space at the first floor is a restaurant / cafe with nice floor mats and low tables. It gathers people all day long for eating, drinking or just chatting. That's how I've spent the last 3 days including this one. Either here or in my bedroom.

My world has switched from tourist visiting India to a guy living sick in a hotel watching and chatting with tourists coming and going. I will soon join them back.

Lots of French, British and some Spanish, Italian. Just one American, from San Francisco.

There's also this French guy that has been living in Goa for the past 8 years, Michel. He cracks me up with his big motorcycle he uses to go to his plant here in Jodhpur. His plant makes wooden frames out of recycled wood. Check the pictures of him and his frames, I feel I have seen these frames in the past! He really is something. He's been in the French special units (Somalia,...) , speed parachuting (that's when you dive head first to get maximum speed, before you open the 'chute, never heard of it before...) and now he runs this business with 50 employees, shipping a couple of containers per month all over the world.

Ok. Enough writing. Let's see if I can get out by myself. Muriel is out in the desert for a camel ride!
