Ahmedabad experiences...

I'm in a strange new world with not too many familiar elements at all! 
We've been here just four days and already we've seen so many weird, wonderful and inspiring places and people. Seen elephants in processions, the vast display of textiles in the Calico Museum, tried our hands at the detailed and skilled Mata Ni Pachedi painting and found a textile book treasure trove.

Long days in the heat and dust and busyness of Ahmedabad are taking their toll. I know we are missing flooding at home, though, so I shall not complain!
