Sunday AM. Last 2 days in Delhi. Main impression is a city in jumble: traffic, communications, power lines, but everything works mostly and eventually, if you take your laptop to the room across the hall or wait long enough. Ages on ages here. Saw Humayan's tomb (about 1550 AD), Jama Masjid (largest mosque in India, built 1658, holds 25,000 in its courtyard, red sandstone & white marble), the congested & exhiliarating spice market with cycle rickshaws vying for space with loaded wagons and loaded porters, Ghandi's cremation site, the B'hai lotus temple (with melodic chants harmonizing with their own echoes). The highlight has been helping to roll out naans at the Banga Sahib Sikh temple. Photos to follow in next blog in case this crashes again!
Right away the power lines/wires/"fixes" caught my attention - talk about infrastructure issues....
ReplyDeletehope you are headed somewhere a bit quieter next....enjoying your posts!
Love to you all! Christina
Yeah, the power lines were wild. especially in contrast with the neatness and order of the shrine in the following pic.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. Great photos!

It makes a difference knowing that you all are there in these scenes, even when I don't see you. Thank you for the photos. Linda looks serene and excited at the same time. Graham looks quizzical, as usual. Rosemary's first posting in the Examiner was great too. Love, Margaret
