I’m now in Jaipur. The train ride felt long. It was comfortable enough, I suppose, but I was really glad when it finally ended. I booked a 3rd class sleeper. It’s nice to have a sleeper, but the 3rd class doesn’t provide that much room. I can’t sit up while on the bed. I have to be laying down which gets kind of annoying. I made the most of it and read some book and watched a movie. It’ll be nice to sleep in an actual bed tonight and wake up refreshed in the morning. I’m not sure what I’ll do as far as sightseeing goes tomorrow. I’ll most likely try to find one or two things within walking distance and then check them out. I read there is a fort further out of town, but I don’t think I’ll try to get there tomorrow. I know there is plenty of things to do around town. I need to get to bed so I can get an early start on the day. I’d like to get up and out of the hotel before it gets too late.

I got an email from B today. I saw it in my inbox right before the train stopped in Jaipur. It was strange. I figured he had meant to send it to someone else. I shouldn’t have responded, but I did anyway. I sent him a message and basically said I think you meant to send this to someone else and that I hope he’s doing well. He replied, which kind of surprised me. He asked where I am and what I’m up to these days. I responded with a short email. I hope that’s the end of it. He’s not a can of worms I want to open again. He’s never on my mind anymore and even after getting the email I have no real feelings for him. I suppose that’s a nice reality check in itself. If he did want back into my life I think I’d turn him down. I don’t think that he does, but if he did I like to think I’d just pass. There were a lot of things I wanted to say to him before leaving, but he wouldn’t give me the chance. I’m over it now.

I took an impromptu art class this morning. It was fun. I’m hoping to look around for some crafts or jewelry or something to buy to give as gifts to friends and family when I go back home. I don’t anticipate buying many people anything, but there are a few people I should really get something for.

Ok, tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I have two full days in Jaipur and I intend to make the most of them.

Gratitude List:
A blast from the past that served to remind me of where I’ve been and where I am now
Being reminded of all the options that are out there and the many different possibilities to explore
An enjoyable art class
