Hijacked in Delhi India! (Delhi Hell?)
This is part two of my first day back in New Delhi… I woke up from my nap, and my neck was hurting again, plus I had a headache. I though what better way to spend my last night and my last rupies than to get a massage where a full body massage is between

Rooked!
Well, it’s been quite an eventful day here in Delhi. I’ve left Buddhi’s protective custody and I’ve gotten the whole college course in travel in India in one day! (It doesn’t help matters that I am now with a full-blown cold (Thanks, Carolyn, for reminding me that it’s better to have a cold in India

On the way to Amritsar
Woke up at 6 am this morning to the sound of chanting…it was coming from the Dalai Lama’s residence. How sweet! This morning I’ll take a car to Amritsar and visit the Golden Temple.

Bijli Mahadev
Yesterday Buddhi and I went for a little ride to see a remote temple, Bijli Mahadev. Biji Majadev is a temple to Shiva (the Destroyer). There’s a large pole that serves basically as a lightening rod.
