Bangle Shopping

Following our hike, we headed into Badami to do shopping. You can feel the difference in a smaller town. People are not hassling you as much. The people here are so friendly, yelling “Hello” or in the case of kids, “Hi Foreign” followed by screams of “America.” The one shop that we spent some time in was a bangle shop. Of course finding bangles large enough for our American wrists was an ordeal. The shop owner simply placed his hand on ours to measure our hand and wrist. It was an art how he worked with the bangles, finessing them onto my wrists. Once they were on, I was stuck and so were they. I was paying either way because if I tried to pull them off, they’ll break. So I’ll be rocking green bangles for a while.
