Finally made it.

We had a twelve hour layover in Newark because of a huge storm. We stayed at a hotel there and arrived in Delhi yesterday at 8:20 in the morning when we proceeded to get to the other side of the airport and get our flight to Kashmir. Elfie was waiting at the airport here. We are staying in her mother-in-law's house and I have included a pisture of her mother-in-law and her sister who is a retired Dean of a woman's college here and worked in the women's rights movement in India while being a companion of Indii Ghandi for ten years. She is a story to herself. We are staying in a beautiful house just below the Shiva Shrine. There is some type of festival at the shrine so we have to sleep with ear plugs. I have also included a photo of the boat that give tours on this beautiful Lake. There are great houseboats here and a town that is on the lake. The end of the movie "Passage To India" where Dr. Aziz left Delhi to spend his time in northern India was filmed here on the houseboats we saw today. Bob and I also got fitted for Indian clothes (cotton) that the tailor will have ready by this Friday. I'll take a picture of us in our new clothes and let you have a look.

Bob Has His Say:

I'm tired. We got sniffed by the drug dog at the Dehli airport. He gave up and exercised by running around on the luggage trolly. There's a lot of military here--serious looking guys with serious looking machine guns. We have a guard at our gate. He says Americans "are nice people" and puts out rice for the birds.
