Old Delhi, India {Travel}

For my first day in India, I hired a cycle rickshaw for the steep price of $7 for the whole day.  He biked me all over Old Delhi and we got to see all the main touristy stuff, plus a few off the beaten path places – like this enclosed compound below: Old Delhi, India

From the roof, we could see a man drying traditional chappati bread: Old Delhi, India

We also stopped at the famous Old Delhi mosque – Jama Masjid: Jama Masjid Mosque - Old Delhi, India

I wanted to scoop up all of this powder that is used for the Indian Holi Festival.  So pretty! Holi Powder Old Delhi, India

My rickshaw driver was a bit reckless.  Delhi is crowded and there isn’t much order on the streets.  He tried to skirt by this taxi and ended up taking off his mirror!  There was a shouting match and my driver fled the scene!  He spent the next few minutes looking nervously over his shoulder, but we were able to lose our pursuer.

Oops - Old Delhi, India

We stopped by the Ghandi Museum – Outside were the famous “Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, See No Evil” Monkeys.

Our last stop of the day was the Red Tower – a UNESCO world heritage site.

Today I’m going to explore Delhi a bit more and then it’s time to head north to start my work at Delek Hospital!
