Jaipur Photos

Every city we visit is better than the last! We are in Jaisalmer now, but I'm a little behind on photos, so I'm posting some pics from Jaipur.

The next several pictures are inside Amber Fort, about a 20 minute drive from Jaipur's old city. We hired a tour guide to take us through, and it was worth it just so he could take pictures of us (we usually don't have that many pictures of ourselves). The fort was beautiful, with hand-painted surfaces, carvings, and inset mirrors to reflect the light of candles.



The next three shots are just random pictures I got in Jaipur--a pottery shop, snake charmers, and an elephant. Supposedly, Rajasthan represents the "real" India. Every region of India is different, but it is neat to be thrown back to a desert world of camels, elephants, turbans, and saris.
