My City
The past few weeks I've had several opportunities to see even more parts of my city. The city is full of history and culture and I hope to learn more about it. Especially, this fall, I hope to do alot more sightseeing just in my city. Anyway, I just wanted to share just a few pictures of some of our recent excurions.
This a view of my city from the top of a minaret on the largest mosque in India. It was quite a narrow climb, but worth it!
This is the largest mosque in India.
This was just a random spot at the mosque. I just liked the picture :) For some reason I like taking pictures of interesting doors or entry ways. Yeah, I realize that is sort of weird.
This is a view of the crazy traffic in "Old Town." "Old Town" is one my favorite parts of the city because it is like stepping back in time. You are immediately immersed in India in every way - sights, sounds, smells, etc.
A colorful saree shop in "Old Town."
In direct contrast to "Old Town," here is "New Town." This is a popular tourist spot near the President's home.
India Gate (a war memorial) is a popular hang out spot for Indians and tourists alike.
This passed us on the street the other day. I've never seen a mobile library before! I am curious how that whole system works.
This is one of my favorite little Indians - Ericka. She is only 4, but she is super smart. She is fluent in English and Hindi. I asked her to teach me the numbers in Hindi one night. She then proceeded to "teach" me. With my limited Hindi skills, I soon realized that she was deliberatly teaching me the wrong words. It was really funny.
These are some friends at my favorite bookstores in the city. It is always a special treat when I go.

Hey Girl...your city is beautiful and very interesting. I laughed out loud when I read that little Ericka was trying to teach you the wrong words. :-) Too funny. Just like a child. I hope all is well with you. We miss you and love you!
