It is a little funny to think about how we've nearly spent a month living in Delhi, India. Below is a mish-mash of pictures from the past few weeks in India:
Mughal influence at the Red Fort- you see this type of architecture with scalloped arches and the red limestone everywhere!
A sweet view of one of the Taj Mahal towers- the sky looks beautiful! But honestly, whenever the sky is this clear it is scorching so we're always grateful when it rains and is cloudy
The view of the college where we've been spending time. It's actually the top school in India...think Harvard (what are we doing there?!). This is the open air hallway where the class rooms are- most dont have air conditioning but it's a super nice school. You can also notice the British style arches which are there because it opened during the British rule in India.
Sweet men who laughed at my Hindi (again, see the red limestone?). We met them on the way to Agra where they Taj Mahal is and they were cutting grass by hand. This is a picture of them on their break before they took their blade to the lawn again.
A random Hindu statue of a woman
This is India Gate, kind of like the Delhi version of the Arc de Triomphe.
And here's some of our team in front of the India Gate...with some random Indians who love to jump in our pictures
Me with Treasa, a freshman at the school we've been at
It is monsoon season here in Delhi, so one morning Andrew was going out for a few meetings and we forgot our umbrella. Thankfully I married a creative and practical guy- this is a trash bag turned poncho
Here are the 5 girls on my team and a few Indian freshmen girls. They stopped by our house where we stayed. And yes, that's me in the UGA shirt.
So we're in our work out gear because we teach fitness classes at this college...and these are the cutest kids! We see them every single day and each day they say "Namaste! Namaste!" (meaning hello) and sometimes run after us. We always say "Namaste" back and ask "Aab kay saay hey?" (how are you doing). We keep saying it and waving all the way down the street.
