Getting Lost, Swindled, and Having Fun

So today was a much better time that I have had since I got here.  The day was hot, but hey it is India in the dry season.  I spent the day lost, but not as lost as before.  I managed to see the Golden temple dedicated to Shiva (no photos allowed), more of the Ghats, as well as the Jantar Mantar (one of the earliest observatories in India).  I also managed to have a Lasi at the famous Blue lasi cafe' (thick milk, with sugar and flavors like pineapple, mango, blue berry, banana, etc).  Finally I also let myself get suckered a little bit.  First I wanted to buy some necklaces from a street vendor.  The guy that got me was very nice and explained everything about the necklace, which god it was dedicated to, he even gave me a wrist band that he infused with his good karma.  Finally we got down to the price.  He started high, I mean REALLY high, and I managed to talk him down to about half his price and what I thought was a fairish foreigner deal.  Turns out I think I paid close to what Indians would pay for them, and I didn't mind the extra because he was nice and made me laugh.  The second guy randomly was going the same direction down a street.  We started talking and he found out I was walking to a place near his shop.  So he had me stop in for some Chai tea and had his friend start the sales pitch.  I ended up walking out with a shirt, three scarves, and a purse for what amounts to about 20 USD.  He also walked me to the monument I wanted to see and never would have found on my own.
So all in all, while I may have paid for too much some times, and gotten lost.  Today at least I did it having fun. 
So here are the pictures I have been promising.  More to come after tomorrows three day train ride.
