And then we went to Jaipur...
At Jaipur, we went to a shop selling saris and other textiles. The photo below is about carpet weaving. A carpet like this takes a few months to complete.

Amber Fort. We had an elephant ride up there...and took a jeep down.

Afterwards we had CIP at the School for the Deaf. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take photos.
