Day 6--Jaipur the pink city.

I had a really good guide today in Jaipur.  We started with the Amber Fort (which is fort/palace combo) before it got too hot.  Amber used to be the capital of Rajasthan before it moved to Jaipur.  There is a summer and winter place right in the same complex.

The winter palace is covered completely in mirrors--on the wall, ceilings, everywhere.

There were tons of animal sightings.  Here are a few.

Here's the Hawa Mahal.  A thin place where the women of the city palace could watch processions in the street with out being seen.  I saw tons of place that were shielded so women could watch, but not be seen.

The city place was also pretty spectacular with its own observatory for making very accurate astrological charts.  It is amazing how they accurate the tons of instruments are.  

Here are birds across the street from my hotel.

I'll end with a beautiful image of Ganesha.

Tomorrow I'm off to the Ranthambhore National Park.  Hopefully I'll see tigers.
