So the other highlight of this week was having
Leslie, Allen, and John and Liz McConkie here. Well, not here so much, but here
in the sense of in India. Well, they were also here in the of here Saturday afternoon and Sunday as
well. So how’s that for confusing? Maybe I haven’t actually totally gotten over
my six week intense drill. To clarify: our four visitors from the US were with
us on Saturday/Sunday, then left Sunday night for a tour of some of the famous
sites in Northern India. They got back Saturday evening, were here Sunday, and
left VERY early Monday morning for the States.
Anyhoo, it was great to see Leslie and Allen
again and to meet and get to know John and Liz. Having the contact with the US,
even for a couple of days, was fun. They aren’t our kids but it still felt like
that. I hope they go back to the US and tell our kids what a great time they
had and encourage them to come visit.
During the days in Delhi, we joined our US
visitors in some site seeing. Some of the sites were repeats for us and some
were new. We went to Akshardam Temple, an amazing place where we definitely want to
go again. We spent about an hour there but we could easily spend half a day.
Unfortunately they do not allow photography so here are some pictures I
borrowed from the Internet. We went back to Humayun Tomb, and I am including a
couple of pictures taken there at dusk. Finally, we went to India Gate. Again,
we have posted pictures of that before but I thought these two were pretty good
so I am posting them anyway.
On Sunday, after Church, we joined our visitors
and Garden of the Five Senses. They were having a flower festival and you’ll
see a few pictures of Dahlias that reminded us of Portland, an elephant made of
flowers, and few interesting shots. Here are some pictures from our visits:
Sorry for the delay in posting this. We’ll try to
do better, but there’s no guarantee.
Namaste.
