After looking at the cannon we were done with Jaipur and were ready to eat and return to Delhi. Our guide recommended a restaurant and we went in to the welcome breeze of an air conditioned room. After sitting down and ordering I noticed a bug on Brookes shoulder about the size of a small half dollar. Not wanting Brooke to freak out but still save herself from an unknown fate I told her “Brooke you have a small bug on your shoulder”. In a flurry Brooke removed the bug and it landed quite dead on the floor. It took her a minute to compose herself but all was fine.
After eating a good portion of the meal I noticed what seemed to be a small mouse scurrying on the wall. Jenneli saw it too but assured us that it was just another lizard or gecko that we had become used to seeing on everyone’s walls. A few minutes later the very mouse like gecko poked his head out from behind the bench we were sitting on. This helped convince Jenneli that, in fact, it was a mouse. A few minutes later another mouse ran across the wall and hid in a hole near the ceiling. When I say it scurried on the wall I mean that literally, the wall had just enough texture to allow the little fellows to grip it.
We lost our appetite and paid the check and left. I also might add that the day didn’t start all that great as we had had enough of shop keepers trying to sell us over priced local trinkets. (Though the day before Jenneli and Brooke both bought some wonderful blankets and fabric) We looked forward to getting back to our little air conditioned room and relaxing. The drive went pretty quickly and on the way Brooke again showed her ability to hook us up with fun and excitement. A coworker to Jenneli and Brooke, Shraddha, had just missed us a week before but her friends were all about meeting us that evening for dinner.
