India, reduced to a list of dates, names and thumb-tacks

Here's where we went:

~4 months, 3 countries, a lot of blog to catch up on.

The longer I leave it, the more intimidating it looks, so there's nothing for it but to start writing.

Tomorrow is Shauvot, some religious festival involving blintzes and Torah, so the museums we were planning to visit are closing early. This gives us plenty of time to write - which isn't work, scary fundamentalist black-garbed Jewish guys! Honest!

About a hundred of these guys were blocking the roads, shouting 'Shabbos'  in a menacing bass tone and even throwing water-bombs at cars trying to pass through. Would have liked to take better pictures but the whole scene was more than a little intimidating. They are all looking at a taxi that they chased off after it had to make a U-turn.
