Dancing Girls!


After our camel ride we had time to freshen up on the train and return to Jaisalmer. There we went to an extraordinary hotel where we were treated to a fabulous dinner and entertainment late into the night.
The place as all lit up with torches and lights and we ate ate outside under great big canopies. It was like we were in a luxurious desert camp of the Maharajas and Maharanis.


Here are the dancing girls( and boys) see if you can pick out who is who!


Maya had so much fun learning the traditional dances with all her new friends:

Even my mom got up and went dancing! They tried to get me but then who would take the pictures?


So if you haven't figured it out, this was the guy and look what he can do! He balanced these pots on his head and danced on top of many objects. It was pretty amazing:

First a dish


Then stacked silver cups

Now swords, still with the pots on his head.

Finally cut glass! It had to be a guy, look at the feet!

The dancing lasted late into the night and here is  the one last twirl of the evening:
