James was sent to New Delhi, India on a business trip for 8 days earlier in the month. He was nervous to be traveling to such a new, different place and was unsure what to expect. But he absolutely fell in love with all of the people that he met and the food was just outrageously delicious!! He can't pronounce any of the actual plates that were ordered for him at the restaurant, but he is eager to go to our favorite Indian restaurant and try to find everything that he ate in Delhi. He was working most of the time, but he did get to take a few trips out to see some monuments and do a little shopping for us!

| The view out to the city from his hotel room. Delhi is ridden with polution and smog, looks like LA, right? |
 |
| The security you have to get through in order to enter his hotel. Armed guards, dogs and several barriers. |
 |
| The very gracious and friendly hosts that spent the week showing him the ins and outs of Delhi culture- the people were by far James' most favorite part of his visit, along with the food. He's been craving Indian food ever since he got back! |

| On the stairs inside the masoleum. The stairs were so large and the intricate details of the masoleum were stunning. |
 |
| The center of the masoleum, isn't it beautiful?! It is a smaller replica of the Taj Mahal. |
 |
| Standing outside the gates outstide the Capitol. |
 |
| This is a memorial for every soldier of Indian who has ever lost their life fighting for Indian. Each individal name gets inscribed on the memorial. It was an awesome site. |
 |
| One of the larger markets in Delhi. James brought back silk scarves, braclets, tea, artwork and ceramic containers. I'll take pictures to post of those later. |
 |
| A monkey. Dressed in a skirt. James wanted to stop to get a picture, he was so excited. But his friends quickly wisked him away in the process, so that he wouldn't draw too much attention to his tourist status! :) |
 |
| Believe it or not, this is James' office in Delhi. It's it beautiful- it's completely green and self-sustaining. It generates it's own power and leaves virtually no carbon footprint. It's a massive structure out in the middle of the dessert in a suburb of New Delhi. |

That looks like a really fun place to visit. I'm glad he had local people to show him around and share the culture. The perfect way to travel!
