Old City

My friends Audrey Ann, Christian and I have been wandering through Old City. On our first wander, we discovered the Old City market! I love walking around, talking to the vendors about their wares, looking at food before it's cooked. The man posing in front of the omelette shop makes one of the best omelettes in Jodhpur for 15 rupees!


Spotted some old men playing chess while wandering through the streets and took a photograph with a girl who was walking back home.


No photo montage of Jodhpur is incomplete without cows!


We wandered through the winding streets and soon arrived on top of a small hill, where we took a rest and gazed out at Old City. When we were ready to move on, we took a right through an ornate archway and found this lake! Don't be deceived by this romantic picture; the lake water was murky and, according to Christian who dived into it, "slimy". We met some Indian men there who asked us about our countries and showed us their rain shrine to Shiva, and a newspaper photographer took pictures of Christian participating in their rain ritual.

I sat on the steps and contemplated life in front of the peaceful smelly lake.
