... to slow down a bit, and hang out. We took in a night show as well. We bought a slew of opticals . Barbie bought some perscription sunglasses, I got several sunglasses and cases, and a trio of readers for $1.00 US apiece. <br><br> The weather has continued to cooperate. The temp is cooler here than in the Thar Desert.<br>I have been suffering a respiratory congestion for several weeks, Mostly due to ...

... The village is extremely remote and is about 40 min from the highway which is about 30 min from Udaipur. Today, we went back to interview the female JP member and women affected. These women are amazing and have come from miles away just to be a part of the film. All of them come in with their sarees on and heavy tribal silver jewelry. (if I hadn't been working, I would have asked to ...

... by walking around and seeing some of the sites. We saw lake Pichola...which is not much of a lake right now...it's borderline swampland...as there isn't much water going on. We met up with Yaarit at Jagwar Temple and then walked around the city just taking in the sights. So many bright colors here. The material used for the sarees is just so amazing. Yaarit had her Indian baptism when she stepped in a cow patty (I so ...

... still a great little city, relatively quiet (by Indian standards anyway). The level of poverty throughout the country is something that you begin to get used to which is awful as you begin to inadvertently dismiss it. There are so many children and adults begging you feel bad not giving them much or anything, but there is only so much you can do and you wonder where it actually goes to. It certainly puts into perspective what you have at home.

... back, you found that the oxen were turning a wheel which had a pulley system which had a series of water receptacles attached to it, as the oxen turned the wheel each receptacle would be filled with water and pulled to the top where it would pour into a trough from which the ladies would retrieve water for washing drinking and irrigating the surrounding fieds (see pictures), unfortunately for them though the 40ft deep pit which should have been filled with ...

... We stood on the outside watching in fascination this social and colourful event which involved more than 500 people. Then, from out of nowhere I was called over. I hesitated long enough for the man to realise I could be persuaded and soon enough, the only white girl in the village had thrown her shoes off and joined in the throbbing crowd, dancing with all the nervous and excited boys. When each one saw me coming towards them their ...

... employing considerable peer pressure to dragoon new players. That's right - things get pretty wild in Udaipur. We were, however, treated to a fantastic meal by the owner, Raju, and his wife, Kala. They made us an amazing, and searingly spicey, goat curry, which we ate on the floor of their kitchen. It was accompanied by small, dense buns called bati. I must admit, getting me to eat with utensils and not my hands when I return wil take some doing. It ...

... saver. This must be the first room we have had were everything worked and things were not broken. Udaipur is situated by a reasonable size lake with a couple of palaces located on islands with the most well known being Lake Palace now a luxury hotel. Udaipur`s name to fame is that James Bond`s Octopussy was filmed here and many hotels offer nightly viewings. While some were adventurous and dining out, I decided to eat in at the restaurant on the top floor and do my exploring ...

... upstairs and the guy tells us to go to sleep and we can check in once we rested. Nice!<br><br>We wake up and look out the window to discover we are at near the lakes edge. We can&#8217;t believe our luck. We can see the water, women bathing and washing their clothes and even a bit of the famous Lake Palace from our window. Just a little side note about the Lake Palace hotel, this is the one featured in the ...

... the first day with plans to see the sights the next day. Mish did some shopping. First evening we set out to see some traditional Rajasthani dancing as well as a puppet show. The last dancer ended up balancing 10 pots on her head whilst dancing and practically doing push up's! Second day we went and visited the impressive city palace and Jagdish temple and ...
