If you meet Buddha on the Road to Jaipur...
Take his picture?
Anyway, after Agra, we did another all-day drive out to Jaipur, and these are the picts from along the way. We stopped briefly at a fort built by King Achbar, where we experienced our most obnoxious guide of the trip. The other highlight of the drive was waiting for an hour at ground zero for a water protest that could have turned into a riot at any minute. It didn't, but things were a bit...tense. Rajastan is suffering from a pretty bad drought, and the people are demanding the government give them water...which I think happened, so the locals removed the roadblocks they had placed on the highway, and we continued.
Didn't really do anything for New Years Eve, in fact, we just got room service at the hotel and watched a bad Jennifer Aniston movie. For the 2nd year in a row, I fell asleep before midnight....guess I'm getting old :)
