DELHI

Well we made it to Delhi and we have already experienced alot in one day. The first thing that tells you that you have arrived are the smells that come from the city that are so strong and pungent that you can smell them while still sitting on the tarmac. It is a very distinct smell that I will not soon forget.
It was also the first time that I witnessed Katie not be so eager to deplane. I, ofcourse, could not wait to see what this place is like, but she was not so sure. It was a complete role reversal for her as she is usually so eager to greet life, no matter what the occasion is. It was quite hilarious to watch her change modes. I thought for a brief moment that the flight attendant and I might have to pry her claws from the seat she was sitting in. But in the end, she relented and embraced the unknown with much courage, just as she does with the rest of her life.

Delhi is a very large, very poor, very old city. It is the capital of India. 17 million people live within the city limits and believe you me, it was very obvious just from the airport to the hotel. We saw baboons and peacocks along the highway to the hotel, a very interesting, unexpected site. Well, we are off the visit this great city today and then off to Dharamsala tonite, what I call Dali Land as it is where His Holiness resides. Stay tuned for more.
