Later in the week I will be traveling to Hungary. I’m posting this to psych myself up to experience winter. For the past year-and-a-half I’ve been living where there are only two seasons–rainy and dry. Before that I was living in Atlanta, where winter is generally a half-hearted affair. So this will be my first real winter in a few years.

This street vendor made crepes in the shape of various cartoon characters. The little drawings hanging from the front of the cart were the pictures you could select from. Or you could get a hot dog rolled in a crepe (pig in a blanket variation.)

IMG_0421 IMG_0424IMG_0341 IMG_0324In the caves of Ajanta, many wall paintings have been preserved. As harsh light can damage these artworks, some of which have survived for centuries, flashes and outside lighting are prohibited. Therefore, it’s a challenge get decent photos, but here are a few attempts.
