. LAX

Our plane left at 1:10 January 19th and arrived in New Delhi January 21st at 3:00am.LONG flight.

 

 Day 1  tuk-tuk ride through an open air market.  Our driver kept telling us how much work it was.  Time to lose weight!

 

?

The power grid in Delhi.  A little scary!

 

 This is the oldest mosque in India.

The Red Fort as seen from the mosque.  We couldn’t go in because of a national holiday on the 26th.  Lots of police, guns, barricades.  Glad we’ll be getting out of town!

 

 

 

The tomb of Humayan

 

 

 

Beautiful Windows

 

 The outside of the tomb

 

 In the footsteps of Gandhi.Where Gandhi was shot.

 

 

The great man

 

 His bedroom All his worldly possessions

 

 The Parlement building

 

 India Arch

 

 The Indian flag, duh.

 

 A Sikh mosque.  Money collected goes to feed the homeless and hungry.  They make food for 100,000 people a week.

 The naan factory.

 

 Stirring up rice.

 

 Making naan.

 

This whole experience was very humbling.  So far India is not what I imagined.  It is loud, colorful, active, bustling, dirty, exciting, and beautiful.  More to come!
