SATURDAY
Evan: We went to the Hawa Mahal. It’s a building that was made for the queens to climb the stairs and see what was happening on the streets without being seen. It was plain on the inside and decorated on the outside. It’s made to look like a crown and it is pink. Pink is the welcome color and Jaipur was painted pink to welcome Prince Albert a long time ago.
Andrew: We were going to go to the Hawa Mahal, but it didn’t open for 10 minutes, so we went shopping in a store next to it. There was a boy working there, who went to school six days a week, and this was his day off. He worked there on his day off to get extra money for his family. He didn’t learn English in school. He learned it listening to gossip from the foreigners talking to the shopkeepers. He was very nice and 14 years old. We had a lot of conversation. We also compared the differences between baseball and cricket. It was cool learning about cricket and talking to him and learning about him. That was my favorite part of the day.
We also went to the Hawa Mahal. It had an awesome view of the street and a wonderful breeze. We also shopped for bangles (Indian bracelets). It took a long time. We were an Indian attraction. Everyone was looking at me and my brother since they hadn’t seen anyone like us before. I took many pictures of the huge group of boys just staring at us. And lots of families were all looking out of their windows. We also met our auto-rickshaw driver’s son.
