Akshardam

Sorry, on the last post I sent you to the Akshardam site. We also visited there but it is not to be confused with the Red Fort.

Anyway, one other thing I wanted to mention about the red fort is that we had the most wonderful guide there. He spoke many different languages. In our little tour group, there was also a couple from Israel. He could call the names of places in English, Italian, German, many others, and HEBREW! He was also very entertaining. When we first "hired" him to give us the guide, he told us that we were VERY lucky. He kept telling us that all through the tour - how lucky we were to have him.

At the end of the tour, he offered to read our palms - but no one wanted that done in our "party".

We walked to the nearby "cafe" and had Mountain Dews and 7-UPs.

That night we ate at the Indian restaurant down the street from where my friends live. It was delicious but VERY spicy.
