Jaipur started out with excitement (body slamming to get onto a moving train). I think those moments will be etched in our memories forever. After taking the 5 hour train (see picture), we took it easy in Jaipur and slept a good 12 hours and relaxed in our nice cool hotel room. We saw some palaces, a HUGE sun dial, and even got our picture taken next to the largest items made of silver in the world. We had a wild ride on a rickshaw upon returning for our flight where our 14 year old rickshaw driver got lost and drove us around with all our luggage for a good hour+. Absolutely insane. It all worked out though.
We are in Amman, Jordan right now awaiting our flight to Cairo, Egypt. We are looking forward to seeing those pyramids. It's kind of crazy to be in the middle east.
All in all, India was a bit mind blowing. An awesome experience, but Shannon is very glad to not ever take any rickshaw rides through polluted congested streets again!
More when we get to Egypt.
PS- We love when people leave comments! =)
It sounds very exciting! I would love to hear about the foods you've been eating and if you've encountered any that are exciting/awful/just plain weird.
