A fort and a temple

---

Today we went (by air conditioned car- yes!) to Rajasthan's largest fort and a Jain temple. Both were very impressive and I tooks loads of photos. For those of you unfamiliar with Jain, it is a more extreme version of Hindu. Followers believe that all life is precious and thus sweep the path they walk, eat and wear no animal product and wear a face mask to prevent them from accidentally swallowing bugs.

Last night's meal out was at Whistling teel... a shisha restaurant frequented by Westerners serving a mixture of Indian and Western food... I went for a pizza as I'm a little curried out. A couple of beers and alot of banter with the other volunteers made a great night... likely to be repeated this evening.

Not long to go now...... x
