Visitor

This past week we have had our cousin Brian visiting us. He was on a trip is Asia, sailing between different beautiful destinations, and decided to pop over to see us. Obviously you can't sail to Delhi, so he flew. We had a wonderful time with him.

I went with him to Humayan's Tomb, which is just a walk away. We took a cycle rickshaw since it was hot and a fun experience. Humayan's Tomb is a beautiful structure, like the Taj Mahal. It is made out of red sandstone. We first climbed around some of the ruins and then went to the tomb.

The next day we did some shopping. We went to Dilli Haat, a handicraft market. I found the perfect wall hanging. It was another hot day so we sweated and drank lots of water. Brian found some nice gifts for people. Then it was off to Sarojini Nagar, a very crowded market. That is a good India experience. Shoving, yelling, street venders, smells, beggars, and piles of clothes to buy.

On Monday Steve took Brian to the Taj Mahal. They went by train which is only 3 hours. Another fun experience. It rained all day on them. But still the Taj is beautiful.

The best part of the visit was being able to get to know Brian better. It doesn't really matter what we do together, it is just being together that is good.
