Elephants, camels, and dancing snakes

Today the boys were thrilled to see more animals in town. Jaipur has many of the sights that are stereotypical of India. We saw our first camel of the trip mixing in with the traffic, it was pulling a huge cart, as we drove into town yesterday. This morning at our first stop we were amazed to see a guy on the street with dancing cobras in his basket. It turns out that they are all around town, but it was a thrill for the boys every time. We didn't have enough small change to actually pay one, so the full experience will have to wait until tomorrow. We also took an elephant ride to the top of Amber fort. And the monkey population is more visible here. The kids shrieked "monkey" many times as we drove through town. By the way, Amber fort was amazing to see.
