----- Oodles of pics- Delhi & Jaipur
A note on the photos –
The one of myself and Sri Sri is by one awesome Schlomoe :) A beautiful gift… About two days before I broke my ankle…
The one of the lady washing clothes is in Brindavan, the birthplace of Krishna. One of those everyday sites that I actually thought to take a picture of (unlike the lentils photo, see my comment below about Jeff)
Another “everyday site”: The mangled bus, we saw on the way from Jaipur to Delhi. Though all visitors seemed to be wooed by how chaotic traffic seems to be without there being billions of accidents, there is a higher incidence of traffic accidents, and when they do happen, well, they’re pretty severe. Let’s all thank God speed limits are usually below 60 here… 60 km/h…
oi… Addendum #2-- I saw a city bus hit a motorcycle yesterday… everyone was fine… I crutched away a little faster.
From Delhi, there are two photos—one of the Baha’ii Lotus Temple, another of the Sufi shrine, the one in the “bad neighborhood”—photo taken from across the tracks, literally.
One photo from the bird sanctuary, Keoladeo, though, of course, it was just for the scenery, no birds :)
The second half of the photos are from beautiful Amber Fort Palace, just outside of Jaipur. The one of the snacks stall (with the Swastik made out of lentils) was taken by Jeff, one of the “normal scenes of India” that I’d grown so accustomed to that I didn’t appreciate it until I saw the photo… Props to Jeff! Anyway, beautiful gardens, a couple beautiful mirrored halls, one of which was residence to the Rani, the Queen, and, of course, one of the holy men in orange (though it looks more like pink) resting….
