New Delhi
Cheers!After a hectic trip, we finally arrived in New Delhi at around 2 A.M. and had an epic taxi ride to our first guest house. So far the sights, sounds, and smells are indescribable.
Instead of falling right asleep, I decided to hang out on the roof of the guest house and watch the sun rise. As soon as the sun rose, I could feel the city come alive. Endless… Read More
