Leaving the religious area and entering the old city...I can wear my shoes again here...

A view of the mountains...
A bathroom at a store along the way...I took this picture because there is no handle to flush the toilet, instead you turn the faucet knob on the wall...
Getting my picture taken up close with an elephant...not real?...so what...stay tuned for some up close pics with real elephants...
A grain truck...I thought it looked way too full, but they are all filled this way...
Hanuman, Hindu monkey god...
Entrance to a market area in Jaipur...time for some shopping in the hot Indian sun...

An ox cart...
Life size version of "Snakes and Ladders"...some of you know how much I like to play games...maybe I could construct one of these...anyone want to play?...
I told you a real one was coming. So...I'm not in the picture, but stay tuned...
A traditional meal...two small clay pots in the back (one for water and one for milk...I didn't drink either...Warning: only drink bottled water and was concerned about the milk. They did bring me a bottle of water for a small extra fee). The round circle in the middle and half piece next to it are a bread called paneer, the brown circle in the middle of them is a small clay container that was filled with butter and placed upside down on both piece of the bread, in the back is jangari (sp?) a deep fried food with honey on it. The small bowl in the front of the picture is ladies fingers (aka okra). I don't know what is in the other bowls...
One of the servers put his hat on me for a picture...
More ethnic dancing...
I did better than just getting my picture taken with an elephant, I got to go for a ride! :) It was fun, but very different than riding a horse. Since the elephant is so big and heavy, you rock one way and then the other as the elephant shifts he weight with each step...
Another musician...
This ends my third day in northern India...
