Before we boarded the plane for Jaisalmer Mary came down with a case of “Deli Belly” which made for an uncomfortable flight for her. After landing and eating lunch I was down for the count.

By morning Mary was able to go on tour and shop. They saw the fort which houses 300 families with ties to the old royal family. The architecture was beautiful and the motifs were intricate, all preserved. The sanitation not so much..

In the evening we went to the desert for a camel ride. We were about 30 miles from the Pakistan border. From the looks of the age and number of camel riders it must be the hot spot for dates.. John rode a camel and the ladies rode in a camel cart. Today we will drive across the desert to Jodhpur, the blue city.
