September already +time flies when you are not doing much!!!!!!!!!!

The blog for today will be of high literary value.
India is a county of such great contrasts.
Like, for example, I went to Tamil Nadu this past weekend, and spent the night in a government hotel on a tiger reserve-national park. Wow! Talk about sitting in a lack of luxury instead of the lap of luxury!! Crikey!! It was beautiful watching the sun rise and set sitting in the umbral of the hotel room, looking at the thick muddy water rush down the river and waiting for the tigers to come out. But they were staying in for the weekend. We did see lots of elephants, especially their behinds as they ran away into the bambooey forest.
One of my favorite things about India is the abundance of blue paint on all surfaces. I am doing a series of blue pictures, which is totally easy here, temples, building, trains, clothes, people. Just kidding.
I took a miniature train line this weekend, a la Darjeeling Express, and since I got sick with a cold later and actually was swigging bottles of ayurvedic medicine, I can totally understand how Adrien Brody felt in the movie! The train was totally blue, as were all the train stops, signs, etc. Blue has almost always been my favorite color, except for black, so it was great fun. I have some fab pictures which hopefully I can post within a month! Ha ha!
El tren bajo por la montanya y vimos unos precipicios y valles increibles y magnificos y unos paisajes con cascadas. Este es un pais increiblemente bonito + es alucinante y no lo imaginaba asi para nada!
This past weekend we tried to take as many forms of transport as possible, so that included. Buses, privately rented cars, the mini train from Ooty to Coonoor, a taxi from Mudamalai to Masinagudi ´ahem, taxis in Masinagudi are really jeeps, which is perfect for mountainous terrain and 36 hair pin bends climbing the mountain. No joke!!! When they say hairpin, they mean hairpin!! We also hitchhiked! Yup, that is right, I can say that I have hitchhiked in India, something I am not even sure I have done in the US, although I did in Spain on the rare occasion. I think the hitchhike was the nicest ride, although the jeep was the most beautiful and the mini train the most stimulating experience!!!!!!
Coonoor tenia que ser el pueblo mas sorprendente de la visita del fin de semana. Era superbonito, el mercado molaba mucho y no era como en Mysore, donde no te dejan en paz para comprar cosas. Tambien cenamos en un restaurante con la comida superrica y grasienta, a la Moha Raj de Buenavista en Madrid!! Estaba super rico + comimos un arroz de cominos, y un plato frito de patata y la hierba que es como espinacas. Esto y un curry de verduras con un poquito de paneer que estaba que te cagas!!! Buenisimo todo. Bueno, ya escribo mas otro dia, por ejemplo, cuando pongo fotos o algun video!!
