Thank you Jayanand - I didn't know this even though I visited Jaipur  
too - and its Hawal Mahal and Amber as many tourists must still do.
Wonderful people, marvellous sights. Such memories ... and not only  
because I was younger; my job, family, and wallet or what's left of  
it, are here, but a part of my sould will remain in India forever.

Other; I took this opportunity to peruse some of the 48 pages you have  
on flirck; WOW !
What a zoo you have now.
Each and all better than the others.
(en passant, I also noticed Montbrun, our modest Amber  ;-) ) .


Thanks again for it all
