Today I visit Jaisalmer Fort in India which is the country/'s only living fort, that is, where people actually live inside. A local woman shows me her home.
I meet a fabric seller named LLiyas supporting his family, women, children and other community members in his village in a remote part of the desert by selling the blankets, dowry bags, and other woven goods they make.
I watch musicians playing bizarre local instruments throughout the lanes, and even watch an Indian bagpipe player squeezing out his songs which is something wonderful see.
A social worker I meet randomly in one of the lanes inside the fort talks about moustache competitions in the desert before she takes me to her home and shows me carvings she owns which are hundreds of years old. I'm introduced to the family and see what the inside of a fort home looks like.
We then go onto the rooftop for an amazing view all the way out to the deserts of Rajasthan.
I chat to one man and his wife to ask if they are familiar with one of the instruments that's being played, and I also see what I think might be India;s version of Michael Jackson.
And finally I give a bit of an update as to what direction my channel will be taking on from here as it evolves and I get a better understanding of what it is I enjoy most about travel.
Another great day in India
