North India - Jaipur

The next stop on our North India adventure was the fabulous state of Rajasthan.  We took a train ride from Agra to the city of Jaipur.  Unfortunately, after we arrived in Jaipur, Mandi came down with some sort of stomach bug and spent a couple of days just resting in the hotel.

A colorful spice market in Jaipur.

Rajasthan is known for its fabulous colorful textiles.  Here is a shot of the fabrics in a Jaipur market.  The colors are so vibrant and grand!  The people look just as vibrant when wearing these things!

Here is a picture of the Water Palace, an old palace in a lake outside the city.      

One of the major attractions in Jaipur is the Amber Fort.

Here is Jon being a snake charmer!  I hope that King Cobra is actually de-venomed!

Mandi enjoying the Amber Fort, as much as she can after just being sick in the hotel room for 2 days!
