Today was the Hindu and Jain New Year. Lon took the day off and we went on a "Sunday Walk" on Monday through a different part of town. No adventures except that Vapi and environs can go from very rural to very urban in a few hundred meters. We walked a road that most likely very few non-Indians take. We got lots of stares. (Of course, my sun hat provides interest just in itself.)
Some views of the day:
 |
| "Pottery Barn" Vapi-style? |
 |
Two of Vapi's bovine citizens. What caught my eye was that even the cows were wearing "bling" for Diwali.
Some even had a "bindi" (red spot between the eyes) -- but not this one. |
 |
| Note the beaded necklace. |
And finally, a 24-second audio clip of last night's "cracker" barrage. (It's continuing tonight even as I type.)
