So for some reason the Indians here had a fascination with taking pictures of me. Not sure why but the children's father here wanted a picture, but I think he kept telling the little boy to scoot closer to me and the poor boy was terrified.
The guy here wanted a picture with me. He was excited so he put on his disco looking jacket. I love the woman's expression. She seems to be thinking "why are we doing this and why is she standing between us?"
One of two structures standing adjacent to the Taj Mahal. Also amazing!
From the Taj Mahal
So I wanted to ride this camel ha! Instead I got my picture taken next to it :)
This room was fill with hand-made plates and tables, inlaid with semi-precious jem stones. The same families that still make these are descendants of the artisans who worked on the Taj Mahal. Very interesting technique.
Here is a man shaping the jem stones to make the art.
Next we were taken into a jewelry shop with a man claiming to have the biggest saphire in the world there. Though he said it was not for sale, he encouraged us to hold it and look at it. Then of course he tried to sell us some rings!
