delhi trip.

hi all,
we had a good time on our trip. driver driven ac car, guides who drove us mad at each historical spot. they form a character unto themselves with their hinglish--- one in delhi was a history student, with sunglasses pushed up on his head, and tired of the rural folk from chennai, the one at agra was elderly and ok, the one at fathepur sikri spent the whole time talking about akbars 3 wives and 300 concubines,and passing snide remarks as a joke to ramesh. the best was the jaipur one who was polite ,sprangout at every stop to open the car door for me , much to rameshs irritation .

it was slice of history for all of us, at delhi the independent india politics with nehru, indira gandhi adn mahatma gandhi museums, and mughal history at agra and fatepur sikri.

delhi with its wide roads and gardens is bautiful and a match for any other place in the world, not that i have seen many !!!!!

Kapu, looks like a great well organised trip and good family time. Do we wbehave better on our trips because of general happiness in the idea of being together or just happiness ?
It's certainly a rest from constant housework for the women.
Nice photographs. Just a little more shade in all..maybe the heat.?
