Another interesting road trip

Yesterday we drove to Jaipur. It was a long ride, but was interesting all the way.  We viewed how people lived and did business.  I worked on a waxed linen basket that I had started at home.  Don’t know how big it will be.  Guess it depends on how much time I have and how I feel about it.  Here it is so far.

Last night we were on our own for dinner so we went to the grocery store.  Everything in India is fried in ghee, clarified butter, and it was available in many brands in the store.

Below is a yogurt we have grown to love.   Use be working, because we are still well.

We rode to the grocery in the back seat of a tuk tuk, a three wheeled open air taxi.

We bought lassi from this man.  Lassi is a sweet yogurt drink.  Very delicious.  Our guide is from Jaipur and she said this man is famous for his lassi.  There were two similar stands next to his but they had no customers.  The guide said that he sells out quickly and then the others begin to sell theirs.  The lassi is served in the little clay cups.  When you finish your drink, you throw your cup in a bin and it is recycled.

Entering Jaipur was sad because we drove through a large slum area.  

This is a fairly common sight.  Camel carts are quite useful

Gun permits are required to buy a firearm.  Not many people own guns.
