Hindu Temple - It was sureal, peaceful and awe inspiring.
We took a bicycle rickshaw ride thru Old Delhi. The streets are very narrow, crowded, filthy and the electrical system is cobbled together inviting a fire at every turn. It was facinating as well as depressing. Yet people thrive here.
The steps to the Jama Masjid Mosque - I had to wear a "dress" to cover my legs where Christine had to wear a one piece long "shirt". Shoes were not permitted - you pay a guy to "guard" your shoes - absurd. As we were leaving the Iman was escorted up the steps by 2 armed police carrying sub-machine guns. 
India Gate - war memorial w/ 13,510 names of those lost during WWI - you can see the Presidential Palace in the arch in the distance - President Obama was to arrive the next day - we got out of town.Hi All,
18 November 2010
Our trip was wonderful and unfortunately sickening - yes we both got the "Dehli Belly" after about a week of travels - but luckily this came after we saw the Taj Mahal which we both agree was the highlite of the trip.
We will break this trip down into bits and bites so as to not bore you completely.
Please enjoy.
