Steps up to a temple.  Needless to say, I didn't go there.



We stopped at a shop that specializes in block print fabric and ready made items.  At the entrance there was a demo with a work table and a man pretending to be block printing (absolutely nothing like yesterday at the real deal).

Together we printed a small square with an elephant motif which you can see me holding up.

Next we went to the Gatore Museum Trust.

Then it was to a few shops to pick up some gift items.  It wasn't too bad.  I say that because I truly dislike the hard sell here and all the bargaining.  For example, one item that I wanted was at a fixed price shop for Rs 80 and two shops down the fellow was asking Rs430 for the same item.  Naturally, instead of trying to bargain him down I went directly to the other shop.
