A few photos from Pushkar

Thought I'd post a few photos singly in case you can't see the slideshow on last post... let me know if you have trouble viewing it.

We stayed in the nicest hotel in Pushkar, the 3 star Jagat Palace. It was really lovely, actually, though the beds were a bit on the firmer-than-cement side and our friends got quite ill after eating from the buffet. Pushkar is set in a lovely valley and had the feel of a desert oasis. We passed sand dunes and some beautiful and desolate country en route to Pushkar.

The lake... or what's left of it this time of year.
 


One of my favorite signs... signifying the diverse tourist draw and some classic Indian English spelling
 


As per the Wikipedia description, there were many signs in Hebrew and Jewish tourists.
