Anyway we had a 3 and a half hour boat ride where we saw the dolphins, although I did feel a bit sorry for them cause when they surfaced they then had all these boats chasing them. The water was a bit murky so I can’t tell you if they look any different to other ...

... number of cows just roaming aimlessly around. I’ve seen quite a few in the cities but today they were just everywhere. And the butterflies, if you counted every butterfly I’ve ever seen and times it by 10, that’s how many I saw today. The sun temple was pretty impressive and again I was a bit of a star attraction with people wanting my photo. Considering it is a world heritage site and very popular with tourists it was a bit weird that I was the only non-indian person I saw.

Nobody did anything but stand there and stare at the water. Super depressing. HAHAHA at this ...

... Vijay explained to me that they were waiting for their weekly ration of cooking oil. The poor are given ration cards and receive 1/2 liter of oil each week for Rs. 5, when the normal price is Rs. 50 for 1/2 liter).

Road Rule #2: Make sure your horn can be heard for at least one kilometer and use it all the time, even if it means everyone will lose their hearing ...

... the town as we were constantly having to dodge cows and their dung. The beach wasn't too spectacular and the dunes were full of trash but the evening was full of action with people playing cricket (of course), fisherman bringing in their catch and couples and families enjoying the sea air. We tried to glimpse into the Jagannath Temple dedicated to the black face deity Lord Jaganath (whose face looks a bit like a golliwog doll) and his brother and sister. A ...
