Jodhpur

We liked Jodhpur a lot: it's blue. The palace was quite nice and the city was real, alive . . . and blue. We climbed a big rock to see a blue temple. I'd like to say we stayed in a blue hotel, but we did not. I stayed at some place way out of the city for reasons that are, at this distance, unclear to me. Probably laziness: it was most likely the first hotel listed. It was a nice city and did I mention that it's blue?
