Daniel and I are marooned in Jaisalmer, India for our fourth day now. We were lucky enough to get here right when it started raining for the first time in two years. Continuous rain and oddly cold weather pretty much put the city on lockdown. Our camel safari was swapped, we kind of got swindled (our fault) into another camel safari, and all we wanted to do was die a bit. The ride itself was entertaining but made our asses hurt – everything else was cold as shit and kind of miserable. Our attempt to get out of the desert a day early failed and we resigned ourselves to our room and woke up to a power outage. Now, we have another 6 hours to kill before we can board a 13 hour train to arrive at our next destination at 4:50am. It’s during this time that I plan to write a hip hopera set to R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet.”
