In the middle of our tour on Sunday our guide had the driver stop at a shop with the “most beautiful carpets in India”.  We got a demonstration on how the rugs are made (all by hand, and the strings are all individually knotted) and how durable they are – I was afraid to walk on them.

It turns out that Dave and I have very similar taste when it comes to these rugs.  Which is good, because we both loved the same two rugs right off the bat, and bad because we ended up buying them both.  The first one I posted is 4×6 feet, and the second one is 3×5 feet. 

Now we just need to redo our house with hardwood floors – or move.

Dave’s heading home Wednesday night (boo), I’ll share all our fun tour pictures once he leaves and I have more time. So you’ll all be a little behind, but that’s okay.
