back on the attack

Well, after several meds later, things are back on track (tract? ugh) Was desperate to go out last night so we went to the light show/historical presentation at the impressive Red Fort in old Delhi. The show highlighted the entire history of the fort, established by "the same guy who brought you the Taj Mahal!" Heh. At any rate, the architecture was impressive and those lacking on Asian history would be surprised to know how often India has been invaded, citides destroyed, palaces stripped and robbed... etc... so many of the cities have \been rebuilt numerous times and so you'll fin far less ruins/buildings dating back prior to the year 1000 than you will in other areas like Italy because of this.
Speaking of which-Ankit's visa was produced in the nick of time-he got it on Weds afternoon! Yeah!
Updates may be spotty or nonexistent for awhile as we won't have a laptop on the next part of the journey. I'll see if I can eke one out tomorrow.... We are leaving in the wee hours of Sun AM... or Sat aft yo most of you...
