It's mental here... and I love it!

Like no where I've been before! It's so crazy here, the drivers honk A LOT, and there are so many people, and it's dusty, but the people have been very kind and welcoming, especially the Rotarians from Delhi. They gave us all a gift of a lovely scarf. First we went to the World Health Organization, and learned more about polio from Dr. Patell. Then we went over to St Stephen's Hospital, where I got a bit nausiated while Dr. Joseph was showing us a slideshow of polio victims and the surgeries he performed. Great work, but I just can't stomach it.

medical stuff makes me queezy. Good thing my roommate is a nurse!

This guy.

Then we had lunch, lentils, chicken, curry, masala, the list goes on and the aroma is seeping out of my pores! All good. Then a tour guide showed us a bit of Old Delhi. We got on two by two on rickshaws, or what I know them as in the States as pedi cabs. I was with my roommate Sarah and I was holding on to her for our dear lives! About 18 times in 22 mins, I thought she was going over board and would be lost in the crowd. They took us through the most crowded streets I've ever seen, where we eventually ended up in a mosque. We took off our shoes, and I covered my hair with a scarf. Was really nice in the mosque. Then our tour guide for the afternoon had the bus driver take us to a place where there was "very clean restroom" and "very good rugs for to buy" Can't blame him, he obviously got a cut of the sales when he brings his tours to this place. We ended up being too short on time and headed to the hotel for about 5 mins, change, then out to have dinner with a Delhi Rotary Club. More authentic Indian cuisine. I'm stuffed and happy!

Tomorrow, early flight to Calcutta. We'll be there for about 5 days.
