Sickness

Somewhere over the course of the last two days I picked up a nasty stomach virus or bacteria. I guess that it was probably from drinking the water in the jugs at the restaurants. As a result I was sicker today than I can remember feeling in years. Despite being a shaking mess and completely unaware of my surroundings, however, I did manage to go on a tour to two towns in the center of Rajasthan state. The first town was Pushkar, where I saw one of the only Brahma temples in India. The next stop was a town called Ajmer, which is supposedly the second most important pilgramage destination for Muslims after Mecca.

While in Pushkar I got some really good advice on stomachache remedies from a man from Delhi. He told me to keep drinking water with lemon squeezed into it. It did succeed in settling my stomach quite a bit.
