Delhi

Maja, Tati and I traveled on a different airline
than the rest of the group and due to airline
scheduling we had to spend a little more than a
day in Delhi. On the day of the performance Tati
and I called 10 hotels before we found one that
had a room for the three of us. We had no idea
where it was in the city but the person taking
the reservations assured us we were in an
interesting section of town. He was right. When
we looked on the map we saw that it was near many
historic sights and best of all- there were wide
sidewalks.
Unfortunately by the time the cab dropped us off it was already after 4:00 and would be dark soon. Fortunately along the way we saw some of the sites that we had hoped to walk to if we had gotten there earlier. So instead of site-seeing we shopped at a great area just down the street from the hotel in the Sunder Nagar area. This is where I bought bronze, wood carvings and some beads.
The Shops of Sunder Nagar
The bead/wood carving store was run by a father and son who were quite nice.
We ate three meals in the hotel restaurant due to time constraints. The food was pretty good but the beer was not. The selection wherever we went was, like, one brand - either black label or Kingfisher. Kingfisher was the best we had.
