Initial thrill

India, finally. After three freakin’ months of waiting for a visa, my feet have finally landed on curry country.

Yes, there are cows on the streets. The roads are wide, motorists are crazy, and there’s dust everywhere. Food is great, got a steady supply of water, and I got a firm mattress to lie on. And yes, Indians do ride motorcycles, lots of them do.

It’s pure sensory overload: sights, smell, sound and taste. And I am just beginning.
