The Wedding in Jaipur

This is going to be a short blog because I'm at a really expensive place and trying to get some work done at the same time.

So - the groom came in on an elephant! It was great. Because I was part of the groom's group, I was part of the party dancing in front of the elephant. Apparently you all might be able to look it up on YouTube - but I have no idea what the address would be. I bought a beautiful red saree for the occassion, but I didn't actually know how to put it on. So I went with what I heard from other white people, then had a nice old auntie take me aside and redress me.

The last few nights we've been staying in the old governor's palace and it's been really nice. The food has been great. Jaipur is pretty cool, but we've only been able to see one touristy thing - the Amber Fort. This fort that was made by the first King in the area or something - sometime in the mid-1600's.

Ok, that's about all the time I've got for now. There is more to come. Oh - I saw monkeys!!
Bye
