july 15: popping veins, enormous yellow fruit, and the Mafia

Above picture: We were driving down in rural Southern India when this dude, ripped out of his mind on steroids, showed up to play.


Above picture: Me, drinking tea amongst some very large bananas. Just look at their girth.
Sorry, if this is coming off a bit innuendo-ish, but those suckers are well-endowed.
We spent yet another day traveling around with different NGO's as they showed us their clients' micro-enterprises. Each time we stopped at a place the hosts would offer us blistering hot tea. So, I ended up drinking like seven cups of tea a day. I stayed very alert.
Picture above: The Indian Mafia on a storefront mural. Poetic.
Most outdoor ads in rural Southern India are painted on . They will be painted on the the sides of houses, large rocks, roofs, and pretty much anything with a large, semi-smooth surface.
Lesson of the day: Blistering hot tea will burn your mouth.
