Well we didn't get a chance to hit the blog yesterday as it was sunday and still the end of Diwalli. But we arrived safely in Delhi and got to the hotel fine. The hotel is nice, but wait till I show you pix of the world outsite our door! We really are right in the middle of everything.

The Diwalli pollution is pretty high and it was even on the news. The drive in was pretty smoky and it's hard to see really far away. All the firecrackers have been going off and still do every evening! After all the mediocre details of flying, signing in, etc. it was time for a late dinner. All we had eaten was our breakfast in the morning. Just when you thought it was going to be a 'day off' from sensory overload, we made our way to the roof for a wonderful, romantic and magical time of sharing a nice non-veg thali, watching the fireworks from the rooftop restauraunt. It was pretty darn magical! Rashi called to discuss our plans for the henna classes tomorrow and Amin called to make sure we got in fine and don't need any help or anything. Will call Raju tonite to tell him when we will be staying at his place. Geeze! Busy Busy!

We then woke up (6am) to the call to prayer! It was beautiful. Not 100% sure where the heck the mosque is exactly, but we can hear it! Well....off to shower and start our day! Today Rashi is picking us up for henna and lunch or sightseeing, maybe shopping...who knows?!? Another day, another adventure!!!!
