Store Overseer

The guard dog keeps a close eye on the market stall. Beware.

So tired

This morning I feel so weary. I feel like this dog looks…ready to stay in bed. I had another sleepless night caused by too much thinking. If anyone has any remedies (which don’t involve drinking myself to sleep) I’d be happy to hear them. I tried meditating, breathing, stretching etc, but these were mighty strong thoughts and were not going to be persuaded to go away.

Regardless, we are up a little early this morning and are hiking Cowles Mountain with Zoe as planned. We still need to get out early to avoid the extreme heat that hits after about 10am. Bring on winter I say (sorry to all those who don’t enjoy our lovely SoCal winters).

Revelstoke Spring Fair

Here’s another photo from our stop at the Revelstoke Spring Fair. I love when you just happen across a town which is in the swing of a big party. It’s almost like I planned it….. but I’m not that organised this trip.

I really loved Revelstoke. It has a casual, outdoorsy feel to it. Everyone was out with their dogs, riding bikes or skateboards, all set with the beautiful mountains as a backdrop. Brendan and I sat in the window of a little cafe and people-watched for a good half hour before checking out some of the stalls at the market set up in the main street. Today’s market photo is just a little different to yesterdays.

I love how everyone in this photo is going about their business, but the dog is the one making a connection with the camera.

Street market in Chanderi

This shot was taken in a market street in Chanderi, India. Once again, not many western tourists come through this town, but we were treated like royalty. Wandering down this little alley which serves for the town shopping centre, everyone wanted their picture taken. It was one of the only markets I walked through in India where I wasn’t hassled to purchase something. People wanted to talk to us, the kids wanted to follow us and we even were asked to peoples houses to see their looms. Chanderi is famous for it’s handwoven sari’s, so of course I had to try some on. They were just beautiful, but I couldn’t see me getting any wear from them back home.
