Spent the day wandering/getting lost on our first full day in India.
Walked in random directions till the fitful rain soaked through. The traffic, the smells, the cows, Oh My! After waving off all rickshaws that saw us, we decided to take refuge in the first three wheeled, canopied rickshaw the came our way. Wait time... 3.4sec. Asked driver to please take us somewhere that we could recognize on the map, as our wanderings took us to none. 10mins later we landed in the "Center" of town, Connaught Place. Expecting a Times Square type place, instead found what Times Square will surely look like 50 years after humans go extinct. All of the enormous/ornate facades deteriorated to their cores. But at least there are still McDonald's, VanHeusen shops, and Papa John delivery scooters to remind us that the end times are not quite upon us yet.

About Me
- Robby and Lucy
- Robby and Lucy met in August of 2008. Robby was already well under way planning his India/SE Asia adventure. Quickly realizing that she wasn't going to be happy "holding down the fort" in Seattle, Lucy invited herself along. They spent the rest of 2008 and a large part of 2009 perfecting their skills of not killing each other in order to travel the other side of the globe together. Without any sort of time constraint or deadline to return to Seattle, they are excited to have as many adventures in Asia as they possibly can.
