Udaipur part 2

We're only 3 months behind in uploading these.

Bats in a tree. There were so many trees around, but we were told these bats only nest in the same two trees. So much for bats liking dark places.




















Seeing these up close is enough to drive anyone batty!




















We were pretty sure this guy was a master of disguise



















And the guy on the left may be his cohort.




















The drive through the rural Rajasthan desert was one of our favorite parts. This is a wheel that cows turn to get water out of the well.






















Caked cow dung is used for cooking fuel and is also used to build huts. Apparently it is not a smelly mess when it's dried.






















This palace-turned-hotel is the site of "Octopussy"




Domesticated camel





















 Undomesticated husband


















Inside the walls of a massive fort Kumbal Garh



















This is a good shot of the type of scaffolding that is used in building most structures, including that crazy highrise below in Mumbai.



















This looks like my dad when he used to have a mustache!





















Apparently the cows are um.....investigating? Yes, yes, investigating.
