Day 26: Delhi

We had a full day at Delhi, a bus took us to different monuments, mosques, tombs, all the names confuse me and they do not add anything to the blog. So I will not mention them.
16th Century precursor of the Taj Mahal, it had not reached the perfection yet.Stone cutters working along the same traditional way to repair some of the monuments

A Sikh Temple
I left the group to visit the National Museum that is at the image of India, some magnificent piece of art in a museum where half the rooms are closed for repair and most of the shelves lack correct lighting.
However today we had our first real lunch of real Indian food. Usually we have no time for lunch or we eat at a little joint on the road where we have rice and some fried chicken. On evening we arrive late and we have the buffet consisting mostly in international dishes which, while being reasonably good, do not deserve a picture or a description. Today was real Indian food, as good as what we eat in Arlington…
