Old time picnic

Together with Adam and Em, we had a lovely picnic breakfast at Lodhi garden this Sunday. Now that Fall has arrived, and the weather in Delhi has really cooled down, it is just a pleasure to hang around outside.






We each brought a variety of foods, met up near the park, and just hung out for a few hours of eating, talking, walking, and music playing!


What an unbelievable coincidence, but it turns out Adam not plays old time music as well, but also plays fiddle, banjo and mandolin. What are the odds?

June 8th: Jon's first day in Delhi

In the morning Jim, Jonathan, David and Rita headed off to Lodi Garden, a beautiful garden in the middle of Delhi.

It was already well over 100 degrees by the time we left at 10 but we headed out anyway. It was the perfect weather for everyone to "strike a pose" (can you hear the song in your head?)

A beautiful green oasis in the city, with a number of mosques and tombs of previous maharajas and important leaders.

We walked around the garden for a couple of hours, stopping for an ice cream before we headed home. We stopped at the Kahn Market for a few fancy provisions (decent cheese, great mangos) and then took the Metro back home. Beautiful public transportation system. Trains were quiet, frequent, and clean. Some signs, etc. very clever.

Back to the apartment and out to dinner at the neighborhood vegetarian restaurant and then home to pack for our next adventure. Back to the airport in the morning for our trip to Udaipur…
