"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

We were not allowed to leave the hotel until 10:30 a.m.  The guides were afraid that people in the city might be a little to wild with the colors.  They use the day as an excuse to drink a lot too.

We only had a photo stop at the Hawa Mahal because of the young boys there.  They were wishing we would get off the bus.  They had their colors ready.  The colors doe not come off clothes and takes a week to ten days to come off the skin.

We drove as far as we could towards Dera Amer.  We had to get off the buses and ride the rest of the way by cars.  The roads were too rough and dirty for the buses.

We had a fun surprise waiting for us there.  WE GOT TO PLAY ELEPHANT POLO!!
