Ward Family India Trip: Jaipur

Today was probably my favorite day of the whole trip. We are in Jaipur, which is one of the best cities to visit in India. Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur are the three main cities that you should visit if you want to see beautiful and famous historical sites. We woke up this morning and went to the Amber Palace. We rode elephants up the hill to the palace. It was so much fun, but it wasn't exactly the smoothest ride ever. The palace itself was amazing! It was built in 1558. Look it up. The history is really interesting! Then we went to the Water Palace and we went shopping. Then we went to the City Palace museum. The City Palace is where the current royal family of Rajasthan lives. The museum was just about the royal family and it's history. Rajasthan is the state in India where Jaipur is the capital city. The current king is 14 years old. During the City Palace museum, we went to an observatory full of sun dials, and astronomical things that are used to tell time and where the sun is in the sky, and a bunch of other things based on the sun. Then we went back to the hotel while my mom went shopping and got a massage. It was great to just get some time back in the room to rest up and most of all BLOG.

Tomorrow we will be in Delhi and we leave for home tomorrow night. I will admit, I am ready to go home. I've been ready for a few days, but today was a great day. Hopefully tomorrow will be as good as today. I'm ready to be in my own bed again. Goodnight!
