I landed in India during their evening, when it was about 8am Eastern time. I didn't sleep much on the plane, so I'm hoping that will help me adjust to the jetlag better. I try to look like I know something about what I'm doing when I get to a new place, but even my taxi driver in Delhi told me I looked bewildered. Part of it was my glasses fogging up made it hard to see, but I was also a little shocked about how hot it was. I thought I was used to the heat, but Delhi makes DC seem cool. I can honestly say that my shower in India was the only one that I have ever enjoyed cold. I can get through a cold shower, but I think this was the one time that a cold shower was a relief. Even in DC when the AC was out in the summer I would turn on a little warm water.
Even though I had to fly out the next morning, I decided to stay in the city so I could see a little bit of India. I'm really glad I did. Apparently Krishna's birthday was the day I flew in, so I got to see a big parade. What I saw of India was actually pretty similar to what I expected. Maybe I've just seen too many movies filmed here. There is still a lot I would like to see and learn about there, but for now, it's off to Nepal!
