3/4 Temple Sweets

In the early morning, I wandered through the blue streets - elephants, fruit stalls, temple songs, men hanging out with their bikes drinking tea, small shrines, but surprisingly no tourists which is refreshing after Udaipur and Cochin.  Early afternoon, I head to Jaislemer at the edge of the Thar desert.  Another beautiful temple stop but this time with a free temple guide.  He took me up a long stair case to the shrine where we rung a bell.  I was given a tikka, or saffron dot on my forhead and two very sticky sweets that were basically pure sugar.  I arrived in Jaislemer around sunset.  Another decent room but a lot of pressure to take a camel safari.  Considering the price, only about $20 a day, I opt for two days as its almost cheaper than staying in the hotel.  I spend the night on the rooftop (surprising I know;)) blogging and Skyping with family.
