~smoggy days in Delhi~

Today, my roommates and I ventured out in the city to go to a free lunch, compliments of Sonal's dad, at the Ashok Hotel. It is one of the last hotels of its kind that is owned and operated by the Indian government. It was quite the lunch, a whole spread of different Indian delicacies, plus a wonderful variety of dessert options. The only negative aspect of the day is the fact that the burning of the coal in the surrounding sectors has created a seemingly impermeable blanket of smog that bleats out the sun and any chance for fresh clean air....However, my favorite cite to see was the Lodi gardens with its variety of ancient tombs and monuments. The park spanned about five football fields wide and twenty back. It would take at least three days to go through the entire park. This amazing park is located within the pulsing heart of Delhi and is never want for company. Families, dogs, monkeys, children, and couples seem to be in everywhere. Whether it is playing a game of cricket or seeing the many cool ancient structures, Lodi park is definitely one of my favorite places here in Delhi so far! Check out some of my pictures from the park.
