Jaipur, the Pink City, is a wonderful representation of all that Rajasthan has to offer! 300+ year old pink sandstone buildings, an impressive fort complex stretching over hillsides, palaces, monuments, markets, parks — history, intrigue, and adventure!
Today, we were joined by our friend, Bela, and members of her beautiful and gracious family, who were kind enough to have us for dinner last night. After an exciting morning that included riding an elephant up a hillside, being blessed by Shiva Devi, and gazing at vistas over the city — we set off for the city’s famous bazaars.
With our guides, we tried a variety of snacks and treats — and delighted at the beautiful fabrics and wares geared towards the upcoming Diwali holiday. It is festival season!

beautiful. one of the things i miss living in the states is all the gorgeous colors of life. the dc area, particularly, is mostly just trees and granite and brick.

Were those fava beans? I hear they go great with chianti and liver… 🙂
