Jaipur, the pink city that is a UNESCO site

Jaipur, India is known as the “Pink City” because in 1876, Prince of Wales, Lord Albert Edward, painted the city pink to welcome Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert. The city still maintains its pink hue today.

At a Disney version of Holi– tours seem concerned for our safety if we mixed with the street-side celebrations we can see driving through town.

Everyone in our silly outfits throwing pigment

I love to travel, do arts and crafts and photography. But most of all, I like to combine them all.
