Auroville

I still am planning to make some kind of word update soon.. but I am now in Auroville, near pondicherry, india. This place is fucking weird - that's to say, politically it is basically a religious cult, but the other half is all ecological/sustainable projects where the normal people are. Anyways, more words on that later I hope. For now, according to google earth, as the crow flies I am 8,570 miles (or 13,790 km) from milwaukee. This is approximately the same distance as to the east coast of Australia. It is warm everyday, though it cools off at night to around room temperature. I would say it's between 80 and 90 F during the afternoon (maybe 30 C). There are banana and papaya trees all over the place, and a lot of other things that one would expect in a tropical place, including a good dose of shadiness. I still haven't been taking a lot of photos but there are some still waiting and some I'll add right now:

Indian rice cooker

Monkeys creepin on the lunch

The Hercules "Thriller" weighing in at somewhere between 50-60 lbs. Probably solid iron construction..

A mini roadtrip on the highway outside of auroville..

Pimped out tourbus. The next step in american ghetto wheel size.

And after being hit with a sickness again, my disappearing stomach last week.
