Yesterday - we left our hotel with our psycho driver and our lovely wonderful tour guide Khan for a trip to the Taj Mahal. It was breathtaking and something that a picture can't capture or words cannot describe. I think you have to see it with your eyes to get it. Very grand.
After...we sadly left our tour guide and our psychotic driver drove us 6 hours to Jaipur. We almost died at least 10 times. I really hate our driver...getting back to that later. Along the way...we saw cmale, monkeys, goats, cows, peacocks...all kinds of stuff...and the poverty is like nothing I have ever seen in all my life...I could not have dreamed it up to be that bad.
Something i find strange here is that men walk hand in hand and arm in arm kind of like young girls do in Europe (no it is not b/c they are gay). We arrived in Jaipur and are staying at the Jai Mahal Palace...it is AMAZING...it is a real palace that was converted into a hotel. Tonigth we are getting spa treatments and today we are gonig to the Amber Fort. Tomorrow we fly to Varanasi.
Jaipur is my favorite city in India so far. It is a nice mix of old and new.
I have never really been all that patriotic I guess...but I'm pretty happy to be an American right about now.
Much love, lis
