We all went shopping today to Palampur's market. The first picture is where I went to buy fabric--two sets for two outfits, including matching scarves. The second picture shows the tailor's place--it's called "Maharajah's Brothers," but it is run by some fabulous women who measured me from head to foot to sew two outfits for me. The skills they have are amazing!
The third picture shows a cow on one of the market streets. I love that you see cows walking around everywhere here! They always have the right away!
We took a ride in an "autorickshaw" back to the home base (which is, funnily enough, called "Green Acres"). It was great. Three of us were crammed into the back seat of the autorickshaw, and we sped along the roads, the driver honking the horn and showing his skill in avoiding oncoming traffic. I wish I could drive the way they do here!
Tonight: tandoori food, which is being cooked now, for supper. Tandoori food is cooked in a special oven. It smells sooooo good.
Namaste!

Sounds like "the place to be"!
Yum - Your supper sounds good. I'm looking forward to seeing your outfits.
Your outfits sound like a great way to wear comfortable clothes. I can't wait to see them.
