Jaisalmer

So this will very short and quick since I have class in ten minutes.

Last Wednesday we left for workshops in which I chose to study folk music in the desert city of Jaisalmer. It was a beautiful city with lots of ornate havelis, however we studied music for about 7 hours a day and hence did not have much time to see the city. Some highlights were the fact that we had more teachers than students (4 students 6 teachers). We "learned" about 6 instruments and sang a lot. My voice is still a little hoarse actually. Another highlight was going to the desert sand dunes, the sand was like silk and the stars were so bright. Our teachers performed for us in the desert with two beautiful gypsy girls dancing.

Today I am on my way to Varansi. I am excited though also stressed since I just got back from workshops, I am tired and I am worried about my ISP research. Anyways, much love and I'll write more when I get back
