Today we went to the observatory and the City Palace.
The Observatory had twelve different sculptures that looked a little like Dr Seuss.
The twelve signs of the zodiac looked like sun dials.  In the month you are in you stand by that sculpture and it points you to the star sign in the sky.
The observatory also had the worlds largest sun dial and and it is bigger than your house.  It tells the time up to two seconds from the clocks.



Then we went to the city palace. Half of the Palace is for the public and half is where the Maharajah lives.   Pink is public and yellow is for royalty.
There were pictures of all the Maharajahs and one was four foot wide!!!  His clothes were on display but we werent allowed to take photos.  But he was huge.  The other Maharajah that played Polo and was the worlds champion was handsome.
The fat guys wife had to get pregnant really fast cause he died at 42 with no children,   His wife was found to be just pregnant when he died so there was no civil war.
There was a big area where balls were held and there were four doors representing the four seasons.
 Wow is that three me's?????



There was a wedding tonight at our Palace we are staying in.  Six hundred guests and lots of dancing and singing.  They lit up all the trees and ponds - it was beautiful
