March 7-12, 2012
In Rajasthan, I first traveled to Jaipur – the Pink City. It has several great monuments but my favorite experience was chatting with my personal rickshaw driver whom I hired for a few days of travel around town.
13 Memorable Experiences:
13. Taking a bicycle rickshaw for the first time
12. Watching a Bollywood Hindi film in the theatre
11. Learning my first phrases in Hindi
10. Petting a cobra
9. Missing the rambunctious Holi Festival of Colors due to intense diarrhea
8. Staying in a beautiful haveli hotel with ornate Rajasthani decor
7. Stunning mosaic doorways at the City Palace
6. Learning to read a gigantic ancient sundial (Jantar Mantar)
5. Elephant caravans at the majestic Amber Fort
4. Driving a rickshaw
3. Sunrise at the peaceful Monkey Temple with its natural mountain springs and wild macaque monkeys (Galtaji temple)
2. Relaxing in the shade of the Royal Tombs of Jaipur’s Maharajas (Gaitor Cenotaphs)
1. The gentle company and care of my rickshaw driver Bablu!
Incredible videography! Well done!! I’m impressed with the collage of images, colours, sounds ~ such a delight for the soul. Thanks kindly for taking the time to share your sacred adventures with us 🙂 Much love, sAhAra
Dearest Waiwai,
It’s so wonderful to watch your journey in Jaipur. I’ve watched many times to enjoy the scene and music of India. By the way, how are you feeling now? Are you completely got over your stomach flu? I had sent you an e-mail couple days ago and I hope you have received already. I am doing OK even I have to cope with my body pains which happened to me everyday but I am very happy with many new things around. So hope to hear about your new experience in Delhi soon.
Much love, xoxoxo Mommy xoxoxo
Thank you so much Jenn! I so appreciate that you are with me in spirit!! Many mermaid kisses to you… <3
Drinking up the exotic inspiration… the animals (omygoodness, to be surrounded my monkeys like that!) and the sunshine and open-heartedness of your journey. Thanks for pouring honey on my day with your wonderful videos and writing. I hope your tummy is feeling much better. Love and cherry blossoms from BC, xo Jenn
