Trip to the Beach

Tuesday, June 05, 2007

The bad, bad couple refuses to keep up with their blog. But, we've kept a few photos. Welcome to Rajasthan, the western most state in India. Known for it's deserts, this area was home to the Mughal kings for a long time. While here, we visited the Jaipur Palace. But pictured below was our hotel. Yes, we tried out the pool.


We were suprised by a special cake for our 1st anniversery.


"It was in 1727, Swai Jai Singh with his architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya founded the Jaipur city. The city was built adhering to the principles of Shilpa Shastra and thus become the first planned city of India. The city follows grid system with wide straight roads, streets and lanes. One can find uniform rows of shops on either side of main roads. As a security measure from external aggression, the city was en-circled with a strong wall with seven gates."
