Great to have your comments here. So...Hi Everybody! Great to have your comments here. Sorry that I wasn’t able to visit your blogs during the last two weeks, but I didn’t let you down: a great Indian Fort made you company – The Amber Fort!! Hope you have enjoyed, and see you next week, hopefully...<BR/><BR/>Shooting Star,<BR/>Thanks! The City Palace in Jaipur is an amazing set of buildings. I was thrilled to visit it and to have the chance to discover so many marvels!<BR/><BR/>Marguerite,<BR/>Je dois un jour visiter Toulouse avec plus d’attention pour voir comme elle est rose… ;)<BR/>En ce qui concerne les matériaux de construction, la seule chose que j’ai trouvé a été un article à L’Hindu, un journal, où on écrit: «The surroundings of Jaipur did not have normal building material as the hills around are volcanic containing mainly quartzite stone. This variety, though very strong, is not good as facade stone. Unlike his forefathers who used big boulders of “seisht” granite for building Amber and Jaigarh, Maharaja Sawai Man Singh used smaller boulders but avoided using rubble.»… ;)<BR/><BR/>Kven,<BR/>I should have bought a turban, indeed. Great mistake… ;)<BR/><BR/>Dana,<BR/>Oh dear, that’s very kind of you. Thanks for the dedication of the post on San Miguel de Allende!!!<BR/><BR/>Celine,<BR/>Great to bring back hopefully good memories to you!<BR/><BR/>Susupetal,<BR/>They are wonderful, I agree!<BR/><BR/>Pat,<BR/>The capital city of Rajasthan is a beautiful place with some absolutely stunning buildings!<BR/><BR/>Asian Traveller,<BR/>If you take into account the Annexes of the Royal Palace in Bangkok, I’m afraid this one is smaller; but if you consider that the astronomical site and the Palace of Winds are also part of the City Palace, then this one may occupy a larger area…<BR/><BR/>Rhonda,<BR/>Oh dear, I knew the yellow had to be haunting the scene some place… ;)) But the Palace is awesome, isn’t it?<BR/><BR/>Jen,<BR/>They were quite elegant; they offered to take a picture or to be on it; but they weren’t so elegant asking for a tip after that… ;))<BR/><BR/>Joyce,<BR/>Those turbans are making a great success; next time in Rajasthan I’ll buy me one… ;))<BR/><BR/>Alice SG,<BR/>Riffles indeed! But that’s an amazing way to show them!<BR/><BR/>Mariposa,<BR/>That was a great mistake; should have bought one… ;))<BR/><BR/>Syaa Fiqq,<BR/>That door was magnificent; I hesitated to post, as it seemed a bit repetitive, but it was a good choice finally to publish it!! ;)<BR/><BR/>Ron,<BR/>I wish I had some more time to take several vacations… ;))<BR/><BR/>Bindu,<BR/>Rajasthan? I surely recommend; unfortunately couldn’t make the rest this year, but one day I will… ;))<BR/><BR/>Shantanu,<BR/>If you say so, I haven’t missed… ;) Truly, I tried, but one never knows when one is in the hands of the guides (persons and paper… ;))!<BR/><BR/>Baron,<BR/>The Palace items are gorgeous, and I couldn’t take pictures inside the museums… ;(<BR/>About «expressing love emotions», I’m not so sure that people are allowed to show it in public; what I heard is that there is a group that is taking the morality in their own hands and is harassing young people at disco and bars on the subject (this one and others)… <A HREF="http://almostsunday.blogspot.com/2009/02/stop-monkeying-around.html" REL="nofollow">Rakesh</A> has an interesting post on that!!<BR/><BR/>Lynn,<BR/>I’m sure the Maharaja would invite you after seeing your recipes in your blog… ;)) Otherwise, he would be the one who would be at lost… ;))<BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/>I miss one!<BR/><BR/>Neva,<BR/>It seems your daughter is spending her life as a traveller… India, Thailand, India again… I wouldn’t mind to have the chance to make it my way of life… ;))<BR/>Anyhow, I’m always happy to see you here, even when India isn’t the subject… Thailand has been around in the Revival 90s…<BR/>As for the pictures, they also look much better before upload… ;))<BR/><BR/>Andrea,<BR/>Wow, Great to see you alive, posting and commenting!!!<BR/><BR/>Alice,<BR/>Tu vois, j’avais raison… ;) Le Palais est vraiment formidable et les jarres sont superbes!!<BR/><BR/>Chucker,<BR/>Never thought you could be unfaithful!! ;)) In particular when the subject is India and its marvels… ;) Have a great time!<BR/><BR/>Maria,<BR/>It’s true that they have a long lasting traditional culture in that region and the buildings are an impressive way to show it!<BR/><BR/>Ming,<BR/>Happy to see you here! The Hall of Private Audience is magnificent! Take care!!<BR/><BR/>Joy,<BR/>It’s an impressive, though delicate portal…<BR/><BR/>Thérèse,<BR/>It’s true that the splendour of the buildings makes you feel rather small...<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>Sous la Coupole ça serait très bien avec des huîtres et du bon vin, mais quelle coupole as-tu choisi? L’Institut de France… ;))<BR/><BR/>Ms.N,<BR/>That patio with the Four Seasons doors is amazing! Excellent place!<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>Touché! That was a very nice comment!!<BR/><BR/>Rakesh,<BR/>Glad to bring good memories back to you…<BR/><BR/>Azer,<BR/>I was imagining you strolling on the theme, on the spot… ;))<BR/><BR/>Indrani,<BR/>I’m sure you will; that’s a beautiful place!!<BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/>A surprising city and a wonderful palace!<BR/><BR/>Pietro,<BR/>I must confess that this palace was an astounding surprise!!<BR/><BR/>Olivier,<BR/>Patchwork de couleur! Belle façon de le décrire… <BR/><BR/>Ted,<BR/>India is actually incredible, and that isn’t only a slogan for the publicity!!<BR/><BR/>Dawning One,<BR/>Big… and in silver… ;))<BR/><BR/>Shionge,<BR/>Thanks! Those urns are astonishing!!<BR/><BR/>Cutie,<BR/>India is huge and has many wonderful things for you to see…<BR/><BR/>Alex,<BR/>Welcome back!!<BR/><BR/>Dana,<BR/>Thanks! That was a nice post you did!!<BR/><BR/>Lakshmi,<BR/>You definitely have to go back… ;))<BR/><BR/>Addy,<BR/>Now, don’t you feel the spectre looks great in silver… ;))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-59915418180588992982009-03-01T11:36:00.000+00:002009-03-01T11:36:00.000+00:00I could see your reflection on the silver urn!
