Paper and Rioting

Never a dull moment in this city, and a several new experiences a day! Today's were very varied and started with a visit to the doctor's for Jeni who's been poorly for a while, then we were off at last to Kalam Khush paperworks. Sadly for the blog pics, we chose a day when grey and blue papers were much in evidence so not perhaps the brightest of images. The paper itself, thounada as pleasing qualities and we both acquired a stash of it. Transportation will be interesting...

Other tasks today included trying to secure 3G access for my iPad and Jeni's tablet. We failed. So no blog posts for ten days or so till we return to Ahmedabad. We stopped for some lunch and I had scrumptious pancake type rolls filled with spiced greens and paneer. Must find a recipe. Johnny had a baked rice and lentil type dish which I tasted and it was pretty fine too. Definitely fancy trying to recreate some of these dishes when I'm home. 

There was the recurrent drama of muslim rioting today in the city over the recent US film, so we were all hustled out of one shop so it could lock its doors, and the market stalls that Johnny took me to to find Tarty things were also shutting up shop and heading out of the way. 
So tonight we are staying home and packing for tomorrow's early start and long drive to the west. Ten days of embroidery and block printing, tie dye, weaving and dyeing await us!
