3/5 Melting Fort

I almost feel redundant now, but woke up and walked to the fort this morning;).  However, I don't see how you could get tired of them as they are all so different.  Jaiselmer's fort allows no rickshaws, cars or bikes ... only cows and very big ones.  I can't tell you strange it is too see a huge cow lumbering up a very tiny sandstone colored cobble stone street lined with brilliantly colored fabrics, the most beautiful architecture and tons of people.  The fort is endangered as water is scarce, it is literally melting.  It's just too bad that most of the streets are cluttered with tourist vendors.  I decide to go into the city to buy some supplies for the safari.  It's still pretty touristy but no where near as much.  After a decent but totally overpriced lunch at Trio, I head back to the hotel for an early nite as I have to wake up early for the safari;).
