Well i finally had the chance to see the red fort in Delhi and it was very cool, i hired a ricksha driver for a few hours to drive me around old Delhi got screwed by him but he' we all get that here now i know better the next time. he did tell me about the wrong places to be when you are white and western in old Delhi so got those places stored in my mind.

The red fort is huge i walked around for a hour or so and did not see even half i think did make some nice pictures of the architecture it is amazing when you walk there to think that this was off limits a few hundred years ago for the common indie, the sultans who lived there must had a shit load of money, another thing you see here in Delhi when i was driving around are soldiers everywhere in little turrets with big machine guns aimed at the streets behind big high walls but all and all the red fort made it all worth wile , the traffic is something you have to experience for your self i don't think i can even to describe the scare you go trough in the back of one of those little 3 wheelers. well here are the pictures the speak for them self i think...ahh and another thing i also had the gandi museum on my list but it was closed this weekend for the 64 year of martyrdom of gandi. so ill try this another time again.

streets of India
The images you have shown are really beautiful. Images I have seen in the past have not been like this mostly, poverty and sooo much garbage filling the streets people walking over it.

WOW!
Great pictures! It sounds like you are having a great time! My sister is in India for two weeks, it's crazy I know two people in India at the same time. That kitchen really needs you, or at least the people being served out of it! Good vibes to you and your poor little cat! Take care, be safe!
