Today we headed (actually as we did yesterday!) to Lodhi Gardens for a lovely Sunday afternoon/evening. Apparently many Delhi-ites had the same idea. Lodhi gardens is a very green space in the middle of Delhi. What adds to its value is the variety of historic monuments that dot the park. Here's Jo reading her kindle with a 15th century monument and lots of Indian families picknicking in the foreground.
What's also interesting about Lodhi Gardens is it's a clandestine make-out spot for the city's numerous courting couples. India in general, even progressive-ish Delhi, is very conservative in terms of public displays of affection. So much so that even here, you have to play a game of "Where's Waldo' to try and spy the three couples noodling (separately) behind the various trees...can you spot all three?
Another thing that's nice about going to Lodhi gardens is that it's near Khan market which is one of Delhi's various very upscale market areas. We went out for a rolling dinner (no pun intended), got a lovely Tikka roll (think Indian burrito sort-of) and then went out for this phenomenal combination: artisan salad and double chocolate delight desert....
A wonderful Sunday afternoon....tomorrow I head off on a big trip to the countries' northeast so they'll be some exciting updates from the proverbial road.
