Look at those eyelashes!
Although, if encountered a camel and an elephant at the same time, I think the elephant would capture my heart. I'm uncertain though how your parents and grandparents would have reacted to you bringing a couple of "pet" elephants to the farm... Thank you for the blog. I've read them erratically as I could grab a minute but the postings were fun, informative and a gift. Thanks. rr

Welcome home!
Glad you are safely home. Sorry about the illness at the end. I HATE those experiences! Wonderful travelblog. I loved the handsome little camel gang! Greetings from Missouri. I'm in Independence until the 16th. And what Christmas gift did you bring home for YOUR camel?

Interesting! It doesn't appear that you were able to cross into Pakistan. Is that correct?

fascinating
This sure looks like a worthwhile stop! I'm a bit surprised the guards took photos with you though. Welcome home by the way. N

Neat
Love your do rags! What an interesting place. Did you go to the border and watch the changing of the guards? We heard from fellow travelers that this is really something to see. I suppose you are winging your way to the States by now. Get ready for cold weather by Monday! Nancy

We too loved this drive. We thought Jaipur was the cleanest city we visited in India. Not that this would take much. Didn't you find the Amber fort absolutely breathtaking? N

This reminds me of Nanital. We loved that lakeside mountain retreat. Going to be tough coming back to reality. N

The places you go and the people you meet! Amazing! Give me tips on how to arrange a marriage for my daughter! Actually, I think she's probably doing fine making her own choices, but I've been tempted. Very interesting to talk to my Asian friends about their arranged marriages. Travel well. DRB

Gorgeous scarves on the wedding crashers
Not that it is all about me, but is there the possibility that the handsome scarf worn by Roy was given to him by his older sister. Please, please let it be so. On topic, what a wonderful unexpected adventure.

Dad's Aviator Scarf
Yes, Christy you are correct. The scarf you spotted around dad's neck is the one you gave him. I wore it many times in this country of scarves/shawls/excellent textiles. I also wore it when we went to the holy lake for Uncle Ray.

So jealous! Looks like a great time. And what fortune to have made such great friends that you got invited to a wedding!! Miss you and can't wait to see all of you. Your camel is crazy, by the way. Not sure what got into him the other night, but I assume he just misses you like crazy.

Jodphur, India and jodphur trouser style
Recall that Dad was wearing jodphur trousers in his photograph with his Denver Grand Champion? Well, I wondered if there might be a relationship between the name and the city of Jodphur, India. There is! I pulled the following from Wikipedia, "...They originate from an ancient style of Indian trouser called the Churidar, which is tight around the calf and baggy at the hips, still worn at traditional Jodhpury weddings.[2] This is a special traditional style of clothing in Northern India, especially in what is today the modern state of Rajasthan, which has its capital at the city of Jaipur. Sir Pratap Singh, a younger son of the Maharaja of Jodhpur, popularised in England the style of riding-trousers worn in Jodhpur, a design that he apparently improved and perfected by himself and first tailored in India about 1890.[3][4]"
