A Great Day in Delhi

Have you been to the main bazaar in Delhi?  It is a wonderful place to explore.  You will find one quaint shop after another as you roam the allies and small streets of this interesting part of Delhi.  There is so much of "life on the street" in this part of town.  We began the day by walking through a portion of this bazaar.

One of the exciting things to do in this type of a walk is crossing the several lane road that is one of the main streets in this area.  It means a tart out into the traffic and a willingness to keep going and trusting the traffic that they will not hit you.  It took a little doing but we each made it across and then we continued our walk to the bazaar.

We rode bicycle rickshaws back to our hotel and then proceed by car to our next destination.  Kahn market gave us opportunity to eat at the "Big Chill" restaurant.  Quite an experience.  Then after some shopping we were off to some further sites and activities.

We explored the Kuta Binar and the surrounding grounds of this Historic Site.  It was constructed between 1100 and 1350.  Just think.  It was completed about 100 years before Columbus.  The Indian government is hard at work seeking to restore the things that may be restored even as they maintain the historicity of the site itself.

We made a few more stops and found our self in the thick of Delhi evening traffic.  With it all we headed back to the hotel, but not until after seeing the India Gate at nighttime.  Truly a beautiful sight.
