Yes, Froody and I arrived safely in Delhi. Big tip: If you ever plan on flying to Delhi, arrive in the middle of the night. That way you aren't plunged head-first into all the noise, traffic, and everything else.
On the plus- side, all our previous travels have made it so Delhi is more interesting than overwhelming. So far, my impression of Delhi is equal parts Cairo and East Africa, and two parts cool and amazing (India). What I mean is, you're walking down a crowded one lane dirt road, full of bike rickshaws, tuk-tuks, and people when a wooden cart driven by a brahma bull pushes past. Also, we're sitting in the (very modern) hotel lobbey when a demonstration passes by, with chanting people, drums, banners, and two elephants. Elephants!! Walking past the hotel! In the street! and NO ONE CARES. Very cool.
We've eaten Indian food each day we've been here so far. We've gotten some folks trying to scam us and others insisting that they aren't trying to sell us anything, just come into their office so they can tell us about some day trip out of Delhi.
