Ahh, Venice!

From the emails we are receiving, it appears that everyone would like to also visit India. Just so that the record is clear, maybe we should explain further. The good times are really good, and amazing. But there are many off times as well. The smell walking down the street can be gut wrenching at times and people haggling everywhere. So we can paint you a picture imagine dogs, pigs, cows, and camels wandering the streets and people defecating on the walls. Today Audrey saw a cow and a bull consummating their marriage right in the middle of the main street. Audrey and I decided that if we were ever to do this again we need a lot more money and one week TOPS! Our guide book explains it well, it reads "many people show up in Delhi and turn around and buy a plane ticket home" and "you can have the greatest and the worst times of your life quite often in the same day" it's very true.But it is definitely an adventure and the pretty places are unbelievable.We are in Udaipur. The most "romantic" city in India. It is nice, the streets are cleaner then the past cities. It has a beautiful lake and some beautiful gardens. (We are trying to get as many pictures as possible, but we're not very good at it so don't get your hopes up). Yesterday we went on a search for a clean place to eat like we do in every city. We ended up lost in a winding palace on a hill and ran across a restaurant. It was very expensive ($20-- that's like $100 dollars here)but we were so tired and hot that we ate there. We must have looked rediculous. We were the only ones in the restaurant and we were a mess. There we were dripping with sweat, Audrey in pajama pants with waiters dressed in formal clothes constantly at our right feeding us with silver silverware. We felt very out of place. It had a beautiful view over the city though.This city's claim to fame is that Octopussy the 007 movie was filmed here. They have nightly showings of the movie. We might go to one tonight. Can you imagine working in a hotel that shows Octopussy every single day of every single year?
