Delhi

Street market in Delhi.


These 3 wheeled trucks are used all over India.


Dilli Haat - One of the vendors in the Heart of Delhi.



Dilli Haat - Down the avenue in the Heart of Delhi.

One of the set of government buildings.



India Gate.


Presidents House.



Honestly can't remember which one this is, just remember the dome is covered in gold.



Government building.



Supreme court complex.

One of the market vendors in Dilli Haat (Heart of Delhi).
I only had a few hours to sightsee and shop in Delhi but Monika showed me as much as she could in the short time. As I've said in other posts, I'm planning more time next trip to take in the sights.
I didn't realize I would like the food as much as I did..the food was great. Everyone was so nice and there are loads of sights to see so next time I'm going to take time to see more.

Hyderabad

Love this scene, especially the colorful clothes for sale hanging outside the shop.

Street scene near the Charminar.




Street market...everything is a whirlwind of activity.



Me in front of the Charminar.



The Charminar from a distance. Took this one from the mosque.




These are colorful doors leaning against a fence along the road by the lake.

I"ll write more later but I wanted to post the few pictures I've managed to take while here.
Update: Ok, I'm more awake now...these are pictures of Hyderabad. I only had part of one day for sightseeing so didn't get to see much but was fascinated by what I did see. There is a Budda in the middle of the lake near the hotel that is a favorite sightseeing spot but it was the middle of the day and very hot so we didn't go there. I did get to see it from a distance but it was too far to take pictures. I did go to the museum, the Charminar and several shopping areas. There was so much more to see but I'll have to take it in next time.
