Yes, we are in another ‘J’ city. And yes, we are in another fort. However, this time, we are actually living in the fort in a hotel called the Surja Hotel. We have three rooms in the wall; one for me, one for the parental units, and one for Eryn. We are in the Jaisalmer Fort and are a long ways away from the gate, but luckily, we have our own balconies. The balconies are hardly worth mentioning, as they are pretty much window boxes without the flowers or dirt. They stick out of the wall and I like to just sit in one and look out at the city.

The parent’s room has air conditioning, a small balcony, two different beds, and a large bathroom. Eryn’s room is also air conditioned, but it has no balcony, being on the inside of the wall. It has a largeish bathroom and one bed. My room is the only one without air conditioning. It is on the wall and has a balcony, one bed, and a tiny bathroom.

The Surja Hotel has the rooftop as well and has made it into a restruant. There are three tables and each of them has two chairs and a small balcony going out over the side. For supper today, my father and I sat on the balcony overlooking the city and my sister and mother sat on the chairs.
