theresa and i meet each other in jaipur which is in the state of rajasthan. we then hired a driver to take us to pushkar (also in rajasthan) which is about 4 hours away from jaipur (as long as the driver does not have car trouble.) we spent a couple nights in pushkar and then we hired another driver to drive us back to jaipur. we spent on night in jaipur and then the next morning headed our separate ways.

downtown pushkar
i actually paid 10 rupees to take a picture with the cow that had an extra leg. if you can't see the extra leg look on his back. the man is holding it up. take a look at the next picture and i don't think you will have a problem seeing it.
this cow has an extra leg located on his back. pretty disgusting
