I've been to the Amber Fort in Jaipur twice, so I sat it out this time. Actually, I walked for a while, snapping away. When the heat got to me, I sat inside the lower complex of the fort and was entertained by these three charming young men, who were offering their services as guides. I learned a few words of Hindi, wrote down English and French phrases for the one on the left, and the fellow in the middle invited me to his wedding....when his parents find a suitable bride for him.

I agree with Olivier, and what a great story to go behind the photos!
Such fine looking young men. You made discoveries of your own outside the Ft.
how sweet! I am glad to see you are having fun Bibi.
; )
Aha! Now I know why you love India so much! It ain't the food… :)
Really nice post Pat. Glad you are enjoying your trip.
He shouldn't be too difficult for his parents to "market"—at least if the bride's folks want a handsome son-in-law. :~} Another nice encounter! --
Lowell, Well, there ARE some handsome men here...and I don't even have to rob the cradle, though these young men were fun to chat with and helped fend off the souvenir hawkers.
