Hello!!
So, things have been quite busy since I've arrived in Delhi. Among other things, I celebrated my 26th birthday here on the 13th, which was absolutely fabulous! My friends took me out for lunch, then later on dinner, drinks, and dancing. I was also the receipient of flowers and cake :)
Other highlights of my time here include visiting different markets around Delhi, eating amazing food (my first real opportunity to eat something other than Indian for once), and making new friends. Yesterday in particular was very busy. My friend Daniela and I went to Old Delhi to see the Red Fort, Jama Masjid Mosque (we actually didn't end up going in because they were trying to charge for a free attraction - not cool!!). We also went and saw a few markets including saree market and paratha market. It was a very busy day to say the least!!
Tomorrow I will head back to Udaipur in the afternoon and start packing up and getting ready to come back to the U.S! I give my final presentation to the NGO on Tuesday morning and then I fly out Wednesday afternoon.
Will try to do one last update before then ... for now, enjoy some pictures!
