Tomorrow, I leave for another school trip, this time off to the cities of Bikaner and Jodhpur, so don't expect to hear from me before Holi!
Today was my Hindi midterm, and afterwards I ended up going shopping back in Bapu Bazaar with a lot of my classmates. The end of the week shopping trip was eerily similar to an earlier trip to Bapu that I took in one of our first weeks here - and the difference in my competence as a Hindi speaker, as a bargainer, and Indian resident made me feel like even though time is flying, I am adjusting better than I may realize. Even talking with mumma once I got home about where I had bought things, it was nice to be able to give more specifics (near the Hawa Mahal, No, not near that tree) that are meaningful now that three weeks ago would have seemed completely random.
Around here, I'm starting to feel like a local. As such, the photo taking has slowed but I have quite a back supply to keep posting here. In the spirit of feeling local, here's some shots of life around Jaipur.

| All right, not very local of me - from inside the City Palace |
