We have arrived!
Well, after 23 hours in the airport or on the plane we have finally arrived in New Delhi. It's completely overwhelming the minute you get out of the airport. Luckily, Ray's friend Andy was there to greet us and got us a taxi and took us to the place where he's been staying. We have a little teeny room, with fans and a western toilet!! I still have not tried the eastern style, but it is only my first day. I plan to hold out as long as possible! I can't really describe what it's like to be here. It all feels really surreal. Cows, dogs, millions of bikes and people all sharing the same teeny tiny dirt roads. The air is thick with smog and the smell of piss and curry. It's pretty intense. Tomorrow we are going to take a 5 hour train ride to Jaipur, the "Pink City". We will be in Rajasthan for 2 weeks or so, and then I think we will head north. Internet access seems pretty easy to come by, so I will write as often as possible. This is going to be an amazing adventure!
