Wings to fly

Hi to all of you who have chosen to read my travel blog. Although I haven't left Australia yet (9 weeks to go), I am busy kramming, learning about sites such as this..totally perfect to let my children and my friends know what I am getting up to... and educating myself on homeopathics vs vaccines etc, plus the monumental task of flights, accommodation, reading and researching places I will explore, travel visas and insurance.

Vardi (Indian for Farm)

Interesting farm that actually cycled through manure from Gir cattle into worming compost farm to fertilise their Anolli plantation which in return halved their irrigation.

Dharnsura streets

Holy Cow!

Cow with tika. Dharnsura street

Rotti for the holy cow!

What an experience to give a rotti to this cow. I always thought they scavenged and it was all words without actions. These people came out onto the street from their homes and fed a rotti and then touched the cows head for blessing

Dharnsura cotton vardi

Ahmedabad Dog catcher!

Yes I saw a dog being dragged along by the dog catcher. They definitely need more of those...on every street corner thanks.

Ahmedabad and anything goes... After long travels the food outlet Honest seemed a good place for a BURGER! If you see a very bright orange palm tree also, then I know I am not on drugs!!!

Choice is Choice!!

Men and Menndhi

I just loved this. They were so quick too.

ART of Menndhi

Transformed beauty

I wish I was tattooed menndhi

Marigod garland

Bio Gas outfit

Very impressive set up on a family vardi. Cow manure is the source of energy. Poured into the back of this old outdoor toilet building it ferments further filling up the tank beside. Compost is deposited over a couple of metres and the gaseous product is piped back to the house fueling the stove and hot water.

What a frail looking woman. How the eyes can deceive.

Sonnelben's mamma. I cried when I realised who this old lady was.

What an image! What a woman!
