Delhi!!


Ah yes, the safari pants are out in full effect... I think I could take some dressing lessons from the locals! These pix are from various ruins and monuments scattered throughout Delhi... I'm standing in front of a complex of tombs (Humayoun's tomb) from the 1500s; the other is a ruin from a site that was built to commemorate the introduction of Islam into India (Qutb Minar).


Our first livestock sighting... alongside one of the busiest roads in Delhi! Everyone, and everything, find a way to coexist together here. Just a stone's throw away we find the site where Gandhi was shot in the 1940's, with a super interesting museum built around it.

And the crowning glory of Delhi from an architectural standpoint - Humayoun's tomb itself! It may look familiar... this is the architectural inspiration behind the Taj Mahal itself!!
