Pictures from Delhi

Now that I have figured out how to put photos in my blog, here are some from the four days the 6 of us Southerners spent in limbo in Delhi. I went sightseeing with Leah and Lily and saw many interesting things.

We went to the Baha'i/Lotus temple:

It has 9 pools around it which act as a natural cooling system.

We also went to the Qutub Minar, which has a minaret (huge tower) and some wicked ruins:

We went on a tour of Old Delhi with Leah's Indian friend:

A few days earlier, Leah and I visited Humayun's Tomb, which was incredible:

Delhi is quite hot in August, and because the city is so polluted I constantly have dirt under my fingernails from scratching bites or rubbing sweaty dry skin. But I like Delhi.

So good to be able to drop in and see what you are doing. I am very proud of the woman you are, and know that you share a generosity of spirit wherever you walk in the world. Be safe. Enjoy these days of wonder and wander. Be very bold.

Great photos, Myla. They bring your text to life.

You've got me reading about the Bahai faith, the Baha'i/Lotus temple, Qutub Minar, and more. Please keep posting.

Where did you spend Rosh Hashanah?
