We took a trip to Jaipur in Rajastan. It was really fun and we saw lots of sights. It's called the Pink City and it is aptly named. Everything has a pink or terra cotta tint to it. We saw it earlier in the day and then again at evening time. We got some good pictures of the castle at both times of the day. I got some when it was all lit up and so beautiful. My favorite scenes were the water buffalo who actually looked flourescent green from the moss. I loved the castle in the lake. It was built out there but I'm not sure how the royal family got to that castle.

We also saw camels dressed up and waiting for people to come ride them.
In the third picture down you will see two women washing clothes. They are getting their water from the metal water tanks. Notice the little child standing by the woman on the left. It is winter time here although it still feels hot to us. Everyone is bundled up especially the little ones. Many are wearing their winter hats.

On the trip we saw a lot of fields under cultivation and many camels pulling carts with heavy loads. We also saw some hills which felt good to our eyes. We haven't seen any hills since we left home, so we had to get some pictures of these.

The next few pictures down are of monkeys. Some are far off in the distance so you will have to search for them. We saw a lot of the little creatures in Jaipur. We also saw a lot of pigs running in the streets but could never get a good picture.
