Rajasthan is sensational, its dizzying and fuming too. Jaipur, our first destination after delhi, an ancient city with a huge wall surrounding the oldest section. Its crowded as fuck though...even more blairing and chaotic then delhi by far...but it makes every rickshaw rides full of excitement and close calls. we lucked out and found meet an awesome driver named rafik at the train station, he's very friendly friendly and smart and has six kids. We had him give us a full day guided tour of jaipur which was superb. We went to see a mandala park. Mandalas are basically huge three dimensional sun dials used for astrological reasons with many shapes created for each month of the year and so on. Supposedly viewing them realigns your mind with the universe…this is a good thing cause india is making my mind spin.
We also, visited many temples and the craziest fort on a mountain side just outside of town that was like the great wall of India or something like this. The interior of the fort was amazingly complicated with hundreds of staircases and small passageways to explore and get lost in. In fact the fort was such a maze we did get lost inside and it took a lot of manuvering to get back out. I think the king had something like 108 wives, weighed 400pnds and would eat 100 chapatti with each meal.

you gotta go to pushkar when you're in rajasthan.. although, i think you might have to like, go around a huge mountain or something from jaipur.. not really sure. that was one of my favorite places in india though. pushkar is this little town around a lake where brahma is supposed to have come down there because of something to do with fucking some tramp... but the town is full of beautiful gypsy girls and musicians and it's surrounded by rose plantations... beautiful at night out in the desert... go say hello to the baba that lives under the banyan tree.. and if you stay at the elephant hotel you can give the owner a few tips on how to use the canon ae-1 that i sold him in order to get back home to the us of a...
