November 28, 2014. On to Jodhpur

We drove about 7 hours northwest India from Jaipur to Jodhpur through the dusty desert. It was a busy highway with lots of trucks.  We passed through the city where the marble at the Taj Mahal came from, so there were lots of trucks hauling rocks.

We have a really nice driver.  He will be with us all the way, until we fly back to Hyderabad. He took us to a lesse shop.  It is a type of buttermilk drink.

Jodhpur seems to be a delightful town, not so big.  We think our hotel is a former villa owned by the royalty.  It is plantation-style with lots of verandas and patios, and lots of ceiling fans, so pleasant in the heat. 90 degrees high today.

We strolled around the town, and found this hole in the wall place to eat.   It literally is a hole cut out of a cement wall.  It was tiny, only 3 tables.  It definitely is not where the tourists go.  This is the menu.

We sat down, and were served 3 bowls of food....one curry, one lentils, and one cauliflower soup.  All served with never-ending naan.  As soon as we ate some from one of the bowls, the server filled it up again.  Each day, there is a different set of 3 dishes, sort of a set menu, all vegetarian.  All for less than a dollar each for all we could eat.

We are looking forward to exploring more of Jodhpur tomorrow.
