November 22, 2014.....part 2


We stopped at a dhaba, a kind of truck stop.....


We asked for the most common drink, chai tea.  The guy heated the water over an open fire...


Then, he added tea leaves, then milk.  He put it through a sieve, and poured it into water glasses for us.  Very nice.

While we were having tea, one of the ubiquitous cows moseyed over to check out Meredith and our van...

 
There was a lot of traffic nearby, as people were coming and going from the Saturday market...


We saw lots of interesting sites along the way.  This is such a great way to travel.  We saw 2 trucks that had turned over.  Then, we saw a strange site....there was a rickshaw going slowly on the highway sheltering a guy lying on the road.  Our driver told us that he is a holy man, ROLLING  about 100 kms to his holy destination.  

We arrived in Khajuraho at 3:00 PM.  We are staying at another nice hotel.  There are quite a few Westeners here, as Khajuraho is a tourist destination, famous for its ancient temples.  

Tomorrow, we will explore the temples here.  Tonight we went to the Sound and Light show as an introduction
