New Delhi - October

Final stop of the trip was New Delhi.

The hotel was full of gorgeous orchids.

 

Monday night we visited a classical Indian music recital.

 

 

Wednesday after work we visited Ugrasen ki Baoli - a step well used for collecting collection and storage of water.  It was an amazing structure.

Dinner was at a tea shop - thanks for the picture Morag.

Wednesday night was back to Dilli Haat for shopping and eating this time instead of Henna tattoos.

I did not see any cows out the office window this trip.  But we did see a cow everyday - I pointed them out to the car as we drove around.  Still fascinates me seeing them roaming freely in a huge city.  

Instead we witnessed a protest - a peaceful protest.  There were people chanting as they walked down the street then did a long sit in - in the lobby of our office building.  Unlike MN we only occupy one floor of a 6 floor building.  Apparently, the company on the 5th floor was not paying their employees - cause for protest.

Trip to Delhi ended with beer in Steph's room.  One of the managers in the office told us we had to try this beer - so we did.  We probably won't again (unless it is chilled).

 

 

And Thursday night (actually Friday morning before we took off) it was back to Hong Kong.  I got to check another item off my bucket list.  I flew on a 787 Dreamliner (in Business class - yeah!).  About 2 years ago I traveled to Seattle to visit friends and we toured the Boeing factory - saw the assembly line as they were being built.  So as I boarded the plane I knew where it came from.  It was all it was hyped up to be - loved the higher pressurization.

So that is it 4 weeks (3 of travel) of hard work and as much fun as possible.  Truly enjoyed it.
