Wednesday In Dehli
It is 2026 in India at this time. We just finished dinner and will likely be in bed sleeping soon. Today was a pretty exciting day. I didn't sleep too much last night so I was awake pretty early. After breakfast three of us went walking around the area of our hotel. Boy are the streets narrow and you have to watch out for cars, bikes, motorcycle, dogs, and pigs. And that is just in our neighborhood. We met as a group for lunch. I wish I could tell you what I was eating, but most of the time I am not sure. One was chicken stroganof, but it didn't lok anything like the beef counterpart I have eaten before. All I can say is there is only one thinkg I wasn't too fond of but taht is about it. The driving around here is just like you see on YouTube. We stopped at the U.S. Consular Offices after about 1.5 hours in the bus. We spent an hour talking with him about how the U.S. Embasy assists in matching U.S. companies with India companies to work together in business. After our little bit of business, we did some tourist stuff. We visited Old Dehli first. What an experience that is. I can't hardly begin to describe the noises, people, smells, and overall sensory load that was experienced. The streets are very narrow and crowded. We then visited the India Gate. This is a large monument to the Indian soldiers who fought for their freedom. It was a very good day today. The Jet lag is setting in tonight though. I have not yet figured out how to post pictures to this blog using my iPad. It worked fine from the computer. I may need to borrow a laptop from someone else.
Hope all is well with everyone in the states.
