Taste of India

Everyone we have talked to about India had pretty strong feelings, either they loved it or hated it. So we when we arrived into Delhi we didn't know what to expect, but we were prepared for anything. We flew into the brand new terminal 3 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport that was built for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.



We only had 2 days to explore Delhi, but enjoyed every minute of it. We went for an early morning run in Lodi Gardens, passing by 15th century tombs as we ran. Then we took the clean, but crowded metro around the city. While I was crammed in like a sardine Abby got to enjoy a seat in the "Women Only" car.





We walked from the metro stop down the bustling Chandni Chowk. I think thanks to our time spent in Nepal and just the way this trip had opened us up we really enjoyed walking the streets. It's really an assault on your senses and I'm not sure anywhere is quite like India.











We spent several hours walking through Delhi's quiet Red Fort. Abby and I feel in love with the architecture. The scalloped archways and massive columns are a beautiful sight.

















From the Red Fort we headed over to the India Gate.





Along with all the sightseeing we had what we had been craving, some delicious Indian food. We're still not sure you can find a bad tasting Indian dish, but we hope we never find it.

So how do we feel about India after our first few days in Delhi? We love it, and can't wait to see more.
