Today had total immersion into Jaipur fashion and shopping scene. Ferris contracted a young British woman whom she'd read about in Conde Nast Traveler to take us around to her favorite shops. Her company is called India Beat. We probably stopped in 20 shops and by the end of the day we collectively had acquired tablecloths, jackets, quilted vests, shawls, shibori jackets, face creams, jewelry and perhaps best of all liquor (to prepare for "dry" Pushkar).
One notable stop was at a local doctor who we needed to take a look at Cliff who's been suffering from laryngitis. We hope he will recover quickly as it is not the same with a mute Cliff writing notes to us on his iPhone and text messaging.
