Exploring the sights

The group of us doing the women empowerment program start work in the afternoon so we try to do some site seeing in the morning. So far, we have been to Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort, the Monkey Temple, and the Water Palace. I got to ride an elephant again at Amber Fort which was really cool! During our orientation here, we were told that India was known as the land of contrasts due to the contrasting climates all over the country, the religions, and the huge gap between the rich and the poor. You can definitely see that here. One thing is for sure though, even with all of the poverty here, it is an incredibly beautiful country! Here are pictures of some of the sights.
