We spent most of the day visiting important historical sites, including this water palace.
There are lots of camels in the streets, used to haul heavy goods.
We stopped at this vendor's stand for a tasty spicy snack called Navratan with dried lentils. He squeezed fresh lime and added diced red onions, chilies, and tomatoes. It was a work of art.
Then we went to a handicraft shop. Block printing is famous here, and they let Meredith make a block print.
Then on to a carpet shop where we watched them weave rugs from camel hair. They really wanted us to buy one...
Meredith is looking for some wedding jewelry, so our driver took us through a residential area to tiny shops to look at their gems. Indians spend a lot of money on gold and gems for the wedding ceremony. We really only were looking for costume jewelery.
