Delhi Capital - March 28th, 2007

Today the American lady and spent the day doing sightseeing. She is flzing to So. Korea tonight for job teaching English.
We visited the Lakshmi Temple west of Connaught Place. Beautiful building with soaring domes. Laksmi is the goddess of wealth. Connaught Place is the heart of New Delhi, a vast traffic circle and 7 streets radiate from it. There is the outer circle and the inner circle.
We walked to the India Gate and relax in their grounds and cool off since the daz was prettz warm. The India Gate can be seen from very far away because it stands along in a vast green area (like the champs Elysee in Paris), plentz of spaced out trees, and water canals.
Afterwards we visited the crafts Museum, a cool and tranquil museum, displaying textiles, woodwork and ceramics. The museum has several galleries with items from around India. We went back to the India gate park to relax in the grass before we went for dinner.
The streets of Delhi do not have pollution nowadays, so it is pleasant to breath the air and not the traffic fumes.
New Delhi has very wide and spacious boulevards and a lot of moderm architectural buildings. The memory I had of November 15th when I arrived to Delhi has been replaced bz a very good experience of this city.
