Dehli in a day :)

Sorry to still not have photos! This computer is just so slow that I may have to fill this blog with photos upon my return. I know that doesn't make for as exciting reading!
I know you'd like to know what I eat for breakfast in India, right? So far, every morning, I've had- scrambled eggs, delicious toast with jam and butter, corn flakes, LOTS of tea (plain, no milk or sugar-it's my favorite thing at the moment), and this morning we had a treat- very tasty banana bread! I know, not very indian, right? But, believe me we've had a lot of wonderful, out of this world Indian food. I've been a very happy camper :) After breakfast this morning, we started our tour of the city. We drove through the section of town where all the government buildings are, Parliament, Ministries, the President's house (which we unfortunately couldn't see bc of the smog :( ), etc.. We then visited a World War I monument, India Gate (there were several snake charmers with cobras out front!), then on to Humayan's tomb, also known as the "poor man's Taj." It was very beautiful. We then went to an old, very large mosque where we had to remove our shoes and the women needed to wear robes. After that, we then took a bicycle rickshaw tour of a Hindu marketplace. Absolutely one of the highlights of the trip so far! From there we went to lunch, then shopping, then to the Qutb Minar (the world's tallest stone minar (Arabic for tower)).
If I were to be asked to describe Dehli in one word, it would be "walled." This city is just filled with walls. Every building or house or apartment building or market place or shanty town or whatever has a wall around it! I think it started that way because it's all these ancient cities built up on top of each other and it was for fortification/protection.
We have to be up at 5:30 am tomorrow for our drive to Agra, so that's all I can do for today! What an amazing trip. Life is good :)
