2014 Trip to India - Jaipur

[mcgillianaire]

I spent two weeks in India earlier this year, the first in the north and the second with family in the south. Here are some pictures from Jaipur, on the first leg of the journey.

Great photos! The Hawa Mahal looks fantastic.

It's a sign of the number of Hindi words that have entered English that I could have translated chaiwalla unaided. :)

Thanks! And agreed about the Hawa Mahal. I've been to Jaipur twice but I'm yet to check it out from the inside.

Heh. I added the English translation only as an afterthought because I had a sneaking suspicion the individual words had probably entered the general lexicon.

Great pics! It's got me even more excited for my very first trip to India in December for a friend's wedding!

Thanks Jess! That's so exciting that you're finally making a pilgrimage to your 'adopted' homeland, if I may say so. And what a way to mark it with a friend's wedding! Ever since we became friends, I've considered you an honorary Indian, so it'll be a homecoming of sorts. Where all will you be visiting?
