Went out for dinner with the rellies. Sarah's cousin painted Sarah's hands with henna. It's a paste made from the leaves of henna trees. You can always tell when an Indian girl is a new bride by two things. First, she will have bangles up the wazoo, all the way up her arms, heading towards the elbows. Apparently, they need to wear these bangles for 40 days after the wedding. Not sure how they get away with bangles and a uniform if they have to go back to work.
Second, she will have red doodles painted all over her hands. And on their feet. That is henna.
For those into elephants, these photos are from the entrance to the hotel
