India – Days 11 and 12

April 23rd, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

Nothing too exciting to report over the last couple of days, especially after the experience that was Old Delhi. I have continued to shop for a few last remaining gifts, most notably a tiger for my son, Jacob. It’s amazing that you can get elephants in all shapes and sizes (wood, sandalwood, bronze, "wire"), cows, and Hindu deities, but no cobras or tigers.

One more piece of culture-shock to report: people run across the highway at night, dodging traffic. My driver almost hit someone last night on a 5-lane (really..) highway when the guy was just trotting along. He said that a lot of people die that way.. it boggles the mind.

I’ll be headed to Akshardham tonight to check out the musical fountains, and hope to be able to get one last bit of shopping in. Some guys at work are taking me out on Thursday night, and Friday night I leave for home. I’m hoping everything fits in my luggage nicely, because I have to bring some items back for people who’ve visited the office, but have not been able to get some items back.

Go Sox!
