We closed out class time last week with a field trip out to Laporiya, a village three hours away from Jaipur that has had success with reintroducing indigenous water saving methods. While their work was really interesting, it is also getting hot, and I stupidly drank most of my water on the bus. So instead of learning lots and lots of indigenous culture, I learned some. And I took lots of pictures.

| This guy rolled past our introductory lecture just after the ugliest goat I have ever seen left. No joke - it looked like part mule, part goat, and it baaahed really oddly. It was terrifying because it also had a small case of the crazy eyes. But this guy was pretty normal. |
 |
| This frog was absolutely huge. It lived in the small cement 'pond' the village keeps for wildlife - the whole village has adopted a no-killing-of-anything policy, so they help these guys live. |

| Things are getting a little 'Survivor' out there - Peter found a beetle. And he just started to go for it. |
