Early in the morning, I walked through Udaipur's tiny crammed hilly streets filled with cows, vendors ("Hello", "Where are you from?", "Come and have chai with me" over and over and over;)), dogs, tourists, motorbikes, autorickshaws and more cows. I found the City Palace and a seemingly decent guide - one hour $2. We sped through the palace and by the time I was done I found myself with a ticket to the Maharani's fancy Holi celebration on the 28th. I decided to stay and walk through the palace again at my own pace. It was stunning. The views of the city, of the lake, of the courtyards. At dusk, I went for dinner at a rooftop restaurant (one of many - I'm in Heaven) with cushy window seats and a fantastic view of the Lake Palace. Back in my room I tried to review and organize my pics but end up going through all the Dakshinayan pictures - nostalgic. I miss the kids. The simplicity.
