Delhi


















Our last day in India was spent in Delhi.  We did not really know what to expect, but it was so different than any other city we had been too.  We saw our first high rise apartment buildings, and the city was really quite clean and well kept.  It was very obvious that there was a tremendous amount of wealth in Delhi.  We had 3 destinations in Delhi that we wanted to visit, and we accomplished all of them.  The first was the Red Fort.  we only saw the outside of this fort, as the British had gutted the interior of all of the castles etc that used to be there.  We then saw the largest Mosque in India.  Following this we went to Humayans tomb.  This was built by Shah Jahans grandfather, and the Taj Mahal was fashioned after this building.  The grounds and the structures were just amazing!
