Although the highlights of my 2017 trip to India were the Taj Mahal and Rishikesh, I saw plenty memorable sights during my 5 non-consecutive days of touring around Delhi.  To get down to a top 5, I [Read more…]

India 2017 Food Diary, Day 13

The last sightseeing stop on my trip to India was a disappointment.  Unfortunately, my last day of Indian cuisine was disappointing too.  Way to end my trip on a down note!

India 2017 Food Diary, Day 12

As day 12 began, I was up and running.  It wasn’t until later in the day when I finally sat down and had a snack.  At the cafe at the National Museum, I got a paneer parantha.  I guess you could call it an Indian grilled cheese.

In the evening, I had a fantastic dinner.  The pictures show how good everything was.  The only problem [Read more…]

India 2017, Day 12: Delhi, Day 4

New Delhi, Day 4

What a welcome I got on my day back in New Delhi!  As I was heading out in the morning, the hotel clerk told me to watch out for people coming up to talk to me as I left the hotel.  You would think I would have [Read more…]
