I had toast for breakfast. Other people had papayas and cinnamon rolls.
Saheliyon-ki-Bari (Garden of the Maids of Honor)
A panoramic movie of the garden's main open area near the entrance.
The garden's central fountain.  Beyond it is a hodgepodge of a science
museum.
A sculpture in another body of water, this one a little stagnant.
Some plazas had tiny nozzles in the ground from which water shot. 
You may have already spotted these in the earlier movie.

Lunch at Chetan
Chetan Restaurant is easy to miss.  We only found it because of a
recommendation from someone (a rickshaw driver?) who we told we were
really hungry and wanted someplace close.
An awkwardly fast panoramic movie of the eating area in the back of the shop.
Probably the best masala dosa I've had.  Amply filled with potatoes,
onions, tomatoes, seeds, and spices.  It had a complex taste and wasn't
too oily.  The dosa had a sourdough flavor, which N says is how
it should be, because that allows it to be spread thinner.  The
white stuff was good as well.  The soup wasn't my thing.

Fateh Sagar Lake
A panoramic movie of Fateh Sagar Lake.
The view across the lake to Nehru Park.
Next to the lake, N and the woman with whom she negotiated for
some guavas.

Cooking Class and Dinner at Sunrise Restaurant
Sunrise Restaurant, where we ate two days earlier and from
which we were going to take our cooking class this evening.
The view back down the street in front of the restaurant.  It's one of
the densest places in this part--the touristy part--of Udaipur.  Lots of
signs.
Vegetable biryani a.k.a. vegetable palau.
Aubergine-and-tomato masala curry.  (Aubergine is the British word for
eggplant.)  (Both dishes are identical.)

Plain parantha.
Potato parantha.
Naan with cheese and tomato, one of the many items we learned how to cook.
I think this is the sweet parantha.

The letter N wrote on our behalf in the instructor's guest book,
thanking her.

We also learned how to make masala chai tea, and potato and onion pakora. I didn't get a chance to photograph either.
