On our first day in India, we visit a Gandhi
museum. It is thoroughly inspiring despite the fact that this is
the spot where Gandhi was martyred on his way to lead a prayer meeting.
His footsteps leading to the fateful spot are marked in the stone.

This is another part of the museum that was
once a house where Gandhi was invited to stay.

We drive by Parliament. After taking
this picture, I noticed all the monkeys on the buildings, but couldn't
get close enough to get a recognizable photo. One monkey was
sitting on the corner of the roof and looked just like a gargoyle.

We spend about an hour walking around the
Lodi gardens where we hear the rich and powerful do their morning walks.
In the middle of the garden are a tomb and a mosque from the 14th
century. This is inside the remains of the mosque.
|
 |
This is the tomb.
|
 |
The filagree looks like it is carved right
into the stone, but it is so fine that it must be done in stucco.
Carving stone that thin should be impossible.
|
 |
Here the holy inspiration is striking us,
telling us to spend the rest of our vacation in India.
