Yesterday morning I awoke at 5am filled with thoughts of all the things that could possibly go wrong…..such as a missed connection, lost luggage, hotel problems and the like. I couldn’t get back to sleep despite knowing that I had a very long day in front of me. However, as the day wore on, the dread turned to excitement and as we left the Delhi airport customs at 1:20am, both Ashley and I were positively giddy.
To avoid delay and frustration, we arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport and take us to the hotel. The ride into Delhi, which is quite polluted, was insane. The driver zigged, zagged, honked, flashed his lights, and drove where I didn’t think there was actually a road. Ashley likened it to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride at Disney. I can only imagine what it would have been like if there had been serious traffic, and cows present.
Anyway, after a nice ambian sleep in, we enjoyed a breakfast in our courtyard. Today we are going to buy some clothing, and the like.
Wishing you both safe travels…Ellie and I are thinking of you.

We're glad you made it OK. We're very curious about India and can't wait to read about your adventures. How's the weather?
So good to hear from you…didn't think there would be a post so soon! Can't wait to see pictures from Delhi.
