DAY 1

Well, after a pretty smooth 24h trip, we arrived safe and sound in Delhi this morning. Knowing that we were going to arrive in India at 0500h local time, we knew we had to pre plan a strategy to get as much sleep as possible on the plane. So, I got closer to Deb than ever before (and that's saying a lot, given I've known her for 30 years)... we spooned on the plane and snuggled ourselves into a deep and restful sleep! (see deb's blog for video documentation) Deb noted to me on the plane that India would be sure to open our eyes.. so I opened my eyes... and she spat in them.

Delhi has been nothing short of amazing today! (having some trouble with photo uploads at the moment.. .pictures to follow). Highlights include:
1. Gandhi museum - I have learned a lot about this man today - a wonderful, inspiring person, with ideals to live by, as regard equality, humanity, compassion, and standing up for what you believe in.
2. Delving into a country where so many dominant religions seem to coexist with relative understanding: Hindu, Buddhist, Islam, Christian.
3. Nearly getting killed crossing the street! (video #2 to follow when technology permits)
4. Not (yet) shitting my pants! Having said that we are still living mostly off food from home... haven't delved full bore into local food supply yet.

That's it for today... I've gone cross eyed with jet lag...
