Dehli

First order of business, wander around Karuna's neighborhood, Haus Khaz.  It's apparently known for it's little shops and old ruins.
These ruins are from the 1300s
Cool little park around the ruins

I had some strangely curry-like Cup Noodles for lunch, then wandered some more.


Dadi-Poti's Tomb.  Dadi Poti means grandmother-granddaughter.  It is believed that they are called that because one is bigger than the other.  No one knows who is buried there.  Poti, the smaller one (38.7' x 38.7') belongs to the Tughlaq period (1321-1414).  Dadi, the bigger one (52' x 52') is from the Lodi period (1451-1526).

Then I went back to Karuna's for a nap.  When Karuna got home from work, we walked some more (farther than I did earlier in the day) and had some Nepalese food for dinner.  Then I had some gelato. After dinner and dessert, we headed back to Karuna's place and planned out a bit of what might happen in the next two weeks.
