PS Ayurveda massage

Namaste again!!

I just had my first Ayurveda massage. Well... I wouldn't know if it was authentic or not (not having had one before). The bloke was very cunning. He invited me into the shop to show me pictures of London, then grabbed my hand and exclaimed: "You are very tired and very tense: you need a massage" (that old chestnut). But I thought, why not? Nothing else to do at present.

It was a bit strange. He shut the curtain to the shop and started massaging my back and arms, which was as expected and very pleasant. However, the head massage involved scrunching up my hair lots and lots and telling me to breathe in and out. He then smeared menthol over my face and rubbed that in, breathing into my ear, "feel one with me". Or something.

At the end I held a crystal and breathed in and out, saying my name.

Now, I feel much more relaxed, my skin looks amazing and my hair -- a complete mess.

Hasta luego, chicos.

It seems you really are having a wonderful time! V. jealous!

I am nipping back to Blighty for an interview next week - fingers crossed for Wednesday 11am. Get someone to say a prayer for me - I'll pay you back when I next see you!!

The only glimmer of light on my horizon after the interview is the Great British Beer fesitval that's happeneing in Earls Court. REAL BEER! There's no such thing in Texas! Anyway probably going to be lots of "Wierds in beards in beers" but it should be a bit of fun! Returning stateside on Friday morning.

Have a wonderful (dry) time!

Alex,

In Jailsalmer be cautious with night tours on camels... sleeping under the stars in the Thar desert... I had from Belgian girls a bad report of their experience (half-raped...)

But no paranoia...
