A Magical Christmas Day In India!

We could not have had a better Christmas in India!!!!
It was such a special day!!!
And, what was especially surprising is that Indians - though overwhelmingly Hindu - also celebrate (in a secular way) Christmas. So lovely!
We like to think that people of all different religions are ultimately believing in the same thing - that there is so much to life we can't explain and we worship this great universe, beautiful and chaotic as it may be. What makes one religion right and another wrong? Nothing! We are all right.
We believe in energy. We believe in people. We believe in hard work. We believe in luck. We believe in believing. We believe in love!
But back to our oh so lovely Christmas, we began day 9 in India with a visit to the Amber Palace, just outside of Jaipur. Built up in the mountains and overlooking Maota Lake, the Amber Palace used to be home to the rulers of the region for six centuries, predating the founding of the city of Jaipur.
The palace is a beautiful mishmash of both Hindu and Muslim architectural styles, and it is home to the iconic Sheesh Mahal (Palace Of Mirrors).
All so beautiful!!!
In the afternoon, we took an elephant safari and had a yummy lunch on the polo grounds.
After our meal, we ventured back into Jaipur and explored the City Palace, which is the actual residence of the royal family of Jaipur. We also visited the observatory built by Jai Singh in 1728 and took a tour of the Rambagh Palace.
Indians LOVED building palaces! Our kind of people! Ha
We also visited a bunch of shops and bought Momma Perez many beautiful Christmas presents! And we topped of our evening with yet another exquisite meal!
Such a beautiful, blessed day!!!
Much MUCH love from our family to yours!!!
