Last Sunday after church we were invited by our friendly neighbors to go out and see some sights in Delhi. Together we decided it would be fun to go see Red Fort. Nobody bothered to take into account that Friday was an Islamic holiday, and most businesses were closed, making that weekend a three day weekend. Red Fort apparently is in Old Delhi and a section where a lot of activity relating to this holiday were taking place. The traffic was slow, at best, so we did some people watching. Along with got watched, (stared at) ourselves. This is a job none of us would like. Look closely, there are three men in the wires, we assume attempting to fix something. I really don't think that was a pleasure climb.
After almost giving up on parking we exited the car and started for the gate at Red Fort. As you can see from these pictures, we did not have an original idea for a Sunday afternoon.
It didn't take us long to decide, we have lots of weekends to go to Red Fort in Delhi, India since we have agreed to live her for two years. So we walked back to the car and drove back toward home. The day wasn't a total loss though. We saw a man on a bike with two monkeys in tow. The kids have been wanting to see monkeys. Not quite the same to have them on the end of a rope but it was fun to watch the little monkey act the guy put on with the pets.
