	Anthony, Seebu, and myself in one of the auto-rickshaws. These things are fun to ride. It is a combination between a golf-cart and a taxi, only it has three wheels.
	The Sikh temple near Connaught Place in New Delhi.
	The Birla Mandir, a large Hindu temple constructed in the twentieth century. Much marble artwork is found inside explaining different facets of the Hindu faith. There is Hindi and English writing, with heavy tourist trafficking here, it seems to be less traditonal.
	The Indian Parliment bulding. This was as close as we could get. Behind the pleasant looking gate and wall is a nice electric fence.
	India puts the "hill" back in "capital hill", the architecture and road structure of the capital in New Delhi is amazing. The north block and south block on either side of the General Secretariet are completely symetrical.
	Everything costs money in Delhi. Even the left turns are not free.
	The Hanuman temple in Delhi, on the day of Hanuman (tuesday). The temple was very crowded, filled with incense and all manners of things. The picture of the man on the sign in the upper-right corner...that man is a god to Hindus.
	A brahmin priest sits outside the temple of Shiva, down the street from Hanuman's temple.
	A side-street in New Delhi. It looks rough, and it is. People live and work here everyday however.
	In the foreground is a Jain temple. Next to the temple is a bird hospital that takes care of birds, and has very graphic pictures of karma experienced by those who would harm animals inside. Looming behind it are two Hindu temples.
	Inside the Jamma Manjid, Muslim worshippers carry out prayer outside of their normal five-prayer routine.
	The Jamma Manjid in all its glory. Even the birds like it.
	This is a glimpse at what nearly all of Delhi looks like from up high. The picture is taken from one of the minarets in the Jamma Manjid.
	Yes, this picture was taken within the borders of India, but not on Indian soil. A friend of Shiela's, married to an American man invited us to a 4th of July celebration inside the American Embassy. This man is the American ambassador to India, soon to be the Secretary of Treasury for the United States. The little girl is her daughter, Safia, who reminds me of my sister Emily.
	A tug-a-war with eight U.S. Marines. Eight on eight. We lost. (I would be worried if we won.)
	Brajen and Seebu enjoying some ice-cream. A treat everywhere.
