First Indian train ride. a view out of the window.
Good window seats for views of the passing cities, villages and countryside.
Different foods that come by on the train which allows for never leaving your seat for anything.
The start of Jaipur day tour.
Jaipur-Rajasthan's capital most famous fort.
We did the day tour in a Rickshaw which makes it easier to get into small, less touristy roads and places.
Ann with Moin (one of my driver/tour guides).
Visiting the monkey temple for sunset. As you can see it's like a zoo on the streets.
When we arrived to the village to spend a day with my Indian family, they were all practicing flying kites or the upcoming kite festival at which time there will be thousands of kites in the air at a time.
Using camels to get some things hauled and work done.
Ann walked around the different parts of the village with the kids from the family. Got a insight of village life.
Some of the family.
Learning how to prepare some indian dishes.
Trying on traditional clothing-the girls in the family were happy to teach and play dress up.
Monkees are everywhere and are always after a free meal....who isn't?

As much as I've been here, I don't know how people sit like this for hours.
