Day 2- David

I have another word to add to Megan's description of New Delhi:intense and gross. We walked past a few public urinals today, but some people weren't even using those, they were just peeing and on the street. But I have to say, New Delhi has some amazing places, like oases in a desert. For instance, today we visited the lotus temple. It was amazily beautiful, and the gardens surrounding the temple were an extremely pleasant break from the concrete and rubble that that lives in New Delhi. Inside the temple was equally peaceful. We were lucky to arrive in a prayer session, which included beutiful singing that echoed and resounded around the temple. I wanted to stay here forever, but eventually we had to face the stress and hassle of Delhi. We caught the Delhi metro back and faced the rush hour traffic getting from the station to our hotel. We almost got lost but we made it and flopped on the beds to relax after a really tiring day. I think that my views and impressions of Delhi have changed greatly since I first arrived but on the whole, I'm starting to adapt to Delhi and I think that I might, just, maybe be able to handle the rest of our 6 weeks in India.
