Old Dehli

we have spent the last couple days exploring the wonders of old dehli, with the wonderful smells, spices, paper stores, children, the largest mosque in India an much more. we ate some amazing naan and dahl, had some fresh pomegranite juice, and some other tasty treats. the city life is a little criazy for us, so we are definately ready to board our 5:50 am train up to Chandigarh. after that to Shimla.

this is at the top of the mineret in the mosque, theres the city below, smog and all. really a very beautiful view.
this is part of the mosque, made of sandstone and marble, we spent the morning here people watching and relaxing, then our feet got too hot (you have to remove your shoes before entering) so we headed back on the caotic streets.


hereès a glimpse of a not-so-busy-dehli-street. lots of scooters, cycle-rickshas, cars and people, oh dont let me forget- cows, oxen, goats, carts, all sorts of things.
also, i got a whole new outfit today, pretty exciting.
we love you all very much, sus and chris

awwww i love it! i am glad you got some good nutrition and cute clothes (cant wait to see them). ninna called to talk to schnooze and said she missed you all. pommagranite juice yum!!! 5:50am...dang!
it's kinda hot here. cameron's getting surgery tuesday for his shoulder (i think i told you that). nothing exciting. just telling people how cool my bil and sis are. met a guy today that reminded me of chris: he majored in glass blowing and metal works in cleveland, OH, and came here to do art!
post pics of your face!
pet the cows (if you're allowed).
can you ride on those carts, or are they for goods?
love you and miss you,
liz & cam & schnooze

i looked it up, know where Chandigarh and shimla are, and there is the: nanda devi biosphere reserve to the north east.... can you go there? it looks like it could be a forrested area... like a natl park? and there's govind pashu natl park near jamnotri. i dont know if they are easy to get to or not. but look cool!
