I am leaving Jaipur today for Jodpur and I really like Rajistan, yesterday I went on a half day tour organized by the tourist office which included the cities finest buildings and historical pieces along with 12 other tourists whom were all lovely. The observatory was particularly amazing, it was built in 17th century and can still tell the accurate tie up to 2 seconds on the worlds biggest sun dial and all the astronomical instruments are beautiful as well as mathematically completely accurate still. With two Mexican Californian girls who I met on the tour I went to dinner 30km out of the city to Joci Duni something like a theme park to demonstrate Rajistan's culture all rolled up in one cliche but we loved it. We rode on an elephant and a camel and got henna and danced and ate on the floor with our hands all of the areas dishes. I even got given a baby and asked if the father could take a phot of me holding it, I am an attraction as well so much so he offered to pay me for the privilege. So it was very long day but so much fun.
Today I will see one or two more trourist sites and possibly spend money in the bazaars before heading to my last stop before Delhi Jodpur tonight.
