New Delhi, India (EST+10.5h)
After one typically disappointing on an american carrier we were delighted to discover that India's Jet airlines is awesome. With over 30 movies to chose from, we spend the flight fully entertained and well fed including ice cream for dessert. After 20 hours of travelling, we made it safely to Delhi. Our hotel is conveniently located at Connaught Place, which is right in the center of New Delhi. With only an hour's sleep last night, our ambitions for today were minimal. We were able to book a trip to Agra and accommodations for the rest of our week here. We did undertake a little walking tour, during which we decided were the most popular people in Delhi, as we were constantly accosted by local residents. Some wanted to sell us things, but many just wanted to chat with a westerner and practice their english. Now to dodge the cows and rickshaws back to our hotel, where hopefully we can finally catch some z's.

My sister in law has a good story about meeting people in a park in India. O.K. it's not a good story, but it is amusiing. Take care of yourselves. Sounds like the trip is off to a great start.
