Well, now that I've been out of the hospital for a couple of weeks and we've got our tickets for our next stop-HONG KONG-India isn't so bad. I mean, I still grumble every time I see someone pissing or pooping (which is quite a bit), but at least I'm able to see the good stuff, too. Like birdwatching in Keoladeo National Reserve, where we hired a guide for the three days we spent there. He was very knowledgeable and showed us over 70 different species of birds.
The tiger safari in Ranthambore wasn't that bad, either. We saw several large mammals, like the sambhar deer and black faced-langur monkeys. I saw a wild tiger. Froody would have, too, but I think he was busy trying to take pictures of it.
This is what 1.2 billion people feels like. Actually, this is the mela (festival) our friends took us too. Froody and I even tried out a McDonald's. No beef, of course. Froody got a chicken royale. This looks better, though: a thali bought at a restaurant where we were the only western tourists.
Internet use in Delhi is more than what it seems. Anyway, our last day in Delhi before heading for Rajasthan was spent walking around the presidental palace and hanging out at the India Gate. Pretty, isn't it?

I meant to ask what hospital you went to in Delhi because they have some awesome and affordable private hospitals. I wish you'd had more fun in India. Although you are further proof for the theory that people either love the place or hate it. Few people leave with undefined opinions. LOL
We stayed at the East West Medical Center both times. It was affordable by Western standards, but way over our budget. We are feeling a bit better about India, but we're also looking forward to Hong Kong! I was so hoping to love India and am disappointed in my disappointment. But, hey, I'm glad I'm here and got to see it.
