The markets in New Delhi were fun. We also did some sigh seeing at an art museum...they had lots of cool iron work and sculptures...
There are also the India Gate and British Forts and the great Red Fort. Lots of stuff from ancient Muslim rulers also.
Just stay away from the guys with the monkeys!!
EW!!
Not every tourist likes to have a stinky monkey climbing on their back!!
OH, also there is the Lotus Temple. A Ba'hai Temple. There are only a few in the world. The one in India is awesome. It looks like a real lotus flower. The line is usually quite long, but definately worth the wait. It is an amazing place once you get inside. It's just like a little safe place - only pews with a podium in front. They play music and will have some scripture/teaching readings for all the world's religions.
