The best we could come up with for a Christmas stocking...pretty lame.


Christmas eve dinner. Boys exhausted...couldn't even get into Santa's arrival. Mery Christmas everyone.
One of the boys favorite stops. Went here 2 times in a row. Small shop with western snacks: soda, water, cookies, masala lays potato chips (ok those were odd).

Textile shop. 

Giving a quick sense of walking by shops in the market. We were beeped at many times.


A dude in the local market.
Dyed textiles, ready to travel to the next step in process!
Jodhpur...the blue city. The houses are painted blue for 3 reasons: 1. it is the color of Brahmin ( priests), which the city has agood supply of, 2. The indigo helps protect the sandstone house from heat and 3. the color is said to detract the mosquito population.
Fort Mehrangarh, built 1459 

The two lovely ladies of our tour.
The boys meditating...even if it was for 20 seconds.
