So, after spending a few days in the awe that is Delhi.....I decided it's time to see the country side for a bit. So, I caught an overnight train from Old Delhi train station to Jodphur, out in the Rajasthan state, and on the edge of the Thar Desert. What an amazing town Jodphur would turn out to be!
Jodphur is known as the "Blue City" and within a few minutes of arriving you know why.......as a lot of the buildings are a shade of Indigo Blue. It's pretty neat to see from the ground, but even more amazing when you work your way up to Mehrangarh fort and Jaswant Thanda. These are both 'don't miss' places to see in Jodphur. The fort has been really well preserved, partly due to climate and partly due to concerted efforts by the Maharaja, and has an excellent audio tour......not to mention excellent views of Jodphur below. Jaswant Thanda is a beautiful white marble mausoleum that sits off to the side of the fort in peace and serenity.
Highlights in Jodphur include smoking sheesha......hanging out with Henry, Mike, Rich, and our wonderful hotel owner Yogi, who for such a young man, has done a fair amount of traveling in the U.S.
More later.......
Love, peace, and soul.
