Jama Masjid was a quiet respite from the chaos, as were the great rooftop restaurants that are popular all over. While it was a big chewy first bite of India, Delhi was way beyond our energy level and after a few days we caught a bus to Rajasthan. The ride to Jaipur was fairly interesting, especially as we got into Rajasthan. All manner of livestock are in the highway. Brightly saried women work the fields, walking smoothly with large bundles on their heads.
Camels haul cartloads of wood and shepard boys tend their herds.
All over Rajasthan the capitals of princely kingdoms have faded into the cities of modern India. But the village life supporting it all continues with little change. Our first morning we had a terrific early morning walk through the lightly populated streets with plenty of space to move. We wandered into an incredibly colorful fruit and vegetable market where people were pretty happy to have their photo taken. Jaipur, Rajasthan's largest city, is a fairly frantic, noisy, smoggy place, but way smaller scale than Delhi.
