India - Delhi (November 1, 2008)

I arrived in India and it is living up to the land of contrasts -- very rich and very poor as well as very clean and very dirty.  India is 1.2 billion people strong. 

Jama Mosque & Red Fort

India is made up of 14% muslin.  This mosque is the largest mosque in India and the courtyard is capable of holding 25k devotees.

Chandi Chowk

This is the main street in Old Delhi.  It is a bazaar--selling to retailers only--which is congested, color and chaos.  We took a rickshaw ride through the town. It was amazing!
