The travel with Konata in India continues. Although yesterday’s sweet milk made me sick a littel, we went to the remains of Orchha. We had not scheduled to go to Orchha but to Agra directly. Our driver recommended Orchha to us, and we were brought by force.

Although we got to the remains of Orchha, it is amazing place !! The big building with detailed decoration stand under the blue sky even where. I felt stillness is unearthly. But I was OK, because I was with Konata. which of this sky and Konata’s hair is bluer ?

What do you think about this colored powder? To tell the truth, this powder is used at the annual festival “Holy” in India. We traveled just in the period of the festival ” Holi”. People throw each other this powder or water in which they dissolved it. The festival is very very exciting !! This day was before two days of the festival, so on the every market colored powder is sold. I will introduce the appearance of the “Holi” in Part3.

When I took a Konata’s picture, girls in this market talked to me. They seemed to be interested in Konata. Very shiny smile ! Konata made friends. I’m happy.

This is a Sadu. Sadu are people who are practicing asceticism. He is the showiest Sadu in them whom I saw in India. I’m sorry for using the photograph without your permission. Later, I saw a procession who all wear nothing. In short, they were nakedness. That seems to asceticism.

Indian food !! Curry and Nan are the best combination in the world. We ordered curries which is not so hot. But every curry was very spicy much, and not so hot. Do you understand this ambivalence. We ate it everyday of until the first half, so until the first half…
