Jaipur 2- DESERT

Sooooooo some of my friends informed me that desert is the sandy one, and dessert is the delicious one. MY BAD!!! HAHAHAHAHA I sware, normally I am a great speller, but this one, and "health" have always been my problem words. huh.

Anyways. Jaipur is quickly becoming my very favourite place in India (besides Goa, to which nothing can compare I think...),. It is nicknamed the pink city because there is an entire part of town where everything is pink!!!! the palaces, the temples, the buildlings, homes and stores. all painted this sandy pinkish colour, with just tan colored sand in the background. it's so so lovely here, and I can't stop staring at the elephants, camels, donkeys and random cattle all over the place!!!!!

I saw one giant glorious ancient building today. It was so incredible- it was so large and full of mazes I got lost a hundred times over. I was just wishing wishing wishing I had someone to play hide and seek with inside this enormous building. I took tons of photos- don't worry! Everything here kindof matches in its pinkish beige sandy dusty colors. It's really cool and the people are so kind. I am staying at the best hotel ever called Karni Niwas. If you ever come to Jaipur, please stay in this hotel - it's so lovely and they have been taking amazing care of me. They went to a lot of trouble to book me my ticket on the train on Thursday (I will be going to Amristar up north) -- even though it was sold out they managed to get me a seat :) So kind. and they cook for me and give me everything I want. They are wonderful! I even asked if there was somewhere I could go to buy a book and he said "I have a collection of many that people have left behind, take what you like."

AWWWW . so sweet. I have one more city tour to do either tomorrow or thursday during the day (my train is an overnight sleeping train) so i have two full days left in Jaipur. One day will be reading on my cute little porch and napping sporadically just to catch up on energy and the other will be another tour.

I haven't ridden a camel, because it's so hot that if I am in that much contact with an animal I might faint. I think I'll pass, just seeing them, taking picture sand hanging out with camels is enough for me!!!!!!

ps. it's 45 degrees today- and I was informed that the temperature yesterday was out-of-the-ordinary hot and today is back to normal (normal still exceeds my "hot-withstanding" abilities...) .
