Glamping

Some shots from the recent India trip. On each trip we usually try different things, sometimes to fit different courses, sometimes because we discover new things, sometimes because we just want to try different things, and other times to get further away from a creeping global pandemic. I'm not certain if this was an example of the latter, although we were cognizant of the unfolding contagion and did our best to avoid crowds as much as possible. Anyway, we ended up "glamping" in Pushkar in Rajasthan which was new for us, and the students loved it. I'd definitely go back.

Here are Caitlyn and Chris checking out the new digs.

This is either Steve hanging out on his porch or the cover of his unexpected solo alt-country album.

We ate all the meals in a bigger tent at the end of the row, which was right next to the drumming performance and down the hill from the cricket match.

Per usual, the food was great. I love the odd counterbalance between dhal and spaghetti.

The inside of one of the tents, in this case mine, which was nicer than the students expected when we pulled up.

And, yes, that's an air-conditioner.

My bathroom. Sure, it looks innocent enough, but just wait until you break off the nozzle, get sprayed with hot water which you can't turn off, and then throw your back out; suddenly it's not so rustic then.
