jaisalmer fort, jain temples, havelis & a rooftop spot called saffron
Tuesday, March 15: We’re picked up in the morning by our non-English speaking (and still greasy) driver accompanied by an English-speaking Indian who will be our guide for the day. We usually like to wander about on our own, but on this day, because our driver doesn’t speak English, the hotel has arranged this guide. In the end, we are happy to have him because we would have just wandered aimlessly around Jaisalmer not having a clue what we were seeing. We arrive at the Jaisalmer Fort, where, outside the gates, are multitudes of beautiful textiles hanging outside shops. It is a hot day, as every day is here in the desert. Nonetheless, I can tell I will like this place with its shopping enticements!
