Hello from Jaipur

Hi to all my friends and family from Jaipur! We are fine and having a great time. Went to some 16th and 17 century palaces yesterday and the day before, and rode both a camel and an elephant.

I'm shocked really at how little is changed over the last 30 plus years. Still the hustlers and beggars in the bazaars, still the amazing 10 deep traffic in the roundabouts, you swear people around you are about to crash but some how you don't. People are incredibly warm and polite. If anything has changed it is the sense that India is less downtrodden, prosperity and pride in being Indian are rising. It's a good change for them.
