India part 8

On our last night in Jodhpur, we had dinner in this little pavilion on the hotel grounds. This woman was cleaning and setting it up for us. It kind of always amazed me that they would wear these beautiful saris to do the most annoying work. But this is jeans and a T-shirt to them, I guess.

First, they dressed us up. Mostly Trevor. Who was not happy.

Then they lit some fireworks for us. Next, we were greeted by these cute boys that danced all the way down the candlelit trail to the pavilion.
There was a whole family of performers -- singing, playing instruments, and dancing with things balanced on their heads. If you notice in photo #2, she's also balancing on a pie plate.

We joined them. We had to. It would be rude not to.


This video cracks me up because the one kid keeps just going back and forth in front of our table....

But then they all get so into this song, even one of the guys in the back. It makes me think of how everyone goes nuts when they hear "Freebird" or something...
