Well this day began with a delicious breakfast of toast and coffee and my first "solid" bowel movement in 3 weeks. I was so happy to see my body returning to normal.
After eating in the company of some other backpackers staying in my guesthouse, we all decided to venture out of city by hiring an Auto Rickshaw to take us to the Bimlhat waterfall. We packed 4 of us into the rickshaw and set off for an hour long ride through farms, villages, and dusty open roads. We arrived a the top of the waterfall where we could walk to the very edge and sit with out legs dangling hundreds of feet off the ground. It was really nice to be in the presence of such as massive waterfall that hasn't been overtaken by tourism. We walked through the river at the top of the waterfall so we could get to a staircase leading down to the base. On the way down we all stopped to make Puja (prayer) at the Shiva Temple and then sat at the base to enjoy the scene. When we returned to the top and crossed the river again, one woman named Inga fall in. This was hilarious because its pretty hard to fall there. But she manages to do it.
When we got back, I got to take my first Indian cooking class. I learned the wondrously rich and heavy dish of Malai Kofta. So good and surprisingly easy to make. This dish has fried potato balls set in a thick masala sauce and garnished with cilantro and frozen cream. MMMMMMM!!!! MM! This would be the first of many cooking classes to come.
