India 3


This is Pushkar. This city was absolutly magical. Its in a valley surrounded by mountains and the desert. It is one of the holiest cities in India. People come from all over India just to bathe in the lake in the center of town. The picture below is also in Pushkar. Becky and I got to go on a camel safari in the desert.


This picture is totally worth of national geographic! This is Beckys guide and her camel at a rest stop.
We would often times be surronded by children that would say one photo...befcause they wanted you to take their photos. Then they would often times ask you for money or a pen. Lesson: if you come to India, bring lots of pens to give to the many children who beg.
This picture is in Jaipur. Jaipur is known as the pink city because it is a law here that all buildings must be painted pink. This is the Hawa Mahal. It seems very ornate on the outside, but is complete bare and boring on the inside. It was designed so royal women could look through the many holes in this castle at the street, without being noticed by the public.
