Last day in Delhi

It is Monday and our last day in Delhi. Today we finished our adoption paperwork at the U.S. Embassy. (See link) The process was relatively quick and easy, although we had to go through 3 security checks before being escorted to the department we needed. Our flight out of the Delhi domestic airport is not until this evening so we decided to sightsee to two more places, the Red Fort and where Ghandi was cremated.

This picture (below) is of my daughter and I with a group of girls from a military school in India that took about twenty pictures of us with them. Because we are from the the U.S. we were instant stars for a few minutes. Remember, we are the minority in this area.

This was outside of Ghandi's eternal flame. This is Kristy and Dan (my daughter and son-in-law) with a snake charmer and (Yes it's real) his cobra.
Below are photos of the human side of New Delhi.

Tonight our flight to Kolkata was again a smooth flight. Culture shock hit us pretty bad when we road to our hotel. The ride was about half an hour, the stench from the filth of the city was awful, and at no point did we see an afluent neighborhood. There are so many people living on the side of the roads and the rest in terrible apartments. Pictures and more on that tomorrow.
