Darjeeling Days are Over


My time in Darjeeling is done! My paper is not but it is closer than ever, and I am back in Jaipur, where it is hot the way India should be in the month of May.  It was pretty incredible to be able to pass a week of my life in such a beautiful place, but I am really happy that my schedule keeps moving forward. But, here's a few more shots of life around West Bengal's most famous tea-producing district. 




One spot where I would never, ever, ever get a tattoo.

Truly, some things are universal.

A monastery!
