I was excited at first to visit the Amber
Fort because I could ride an elephant here. But the guidebook made me
feel too guilty about the rough life these elephants lead here. So I
couldn't bring myself to pay for a ride. Actually, the elephants we saw
didn't look so abused as all that.

The fort has lovely ordered gardens (a
hallmark of the Muslim influence of the Mughal rulers).

 |
Julie is a little disappointed at all the
vandalism to the mirrored tiles.
|
 |
Still, there are a few
mirrors intact.

It was so busy that I got to see my first
elephant traffic jam.

We were confused by the many signs banning
hawkers and the many hawkers until we realized the ban only is enforced
in one small courtyard. Probably to give the beggars in the courtyard
more space.
