This morning we didn't have to be up very early. Special thank-you to Sanjay for scheduling activities yesterday that gave us the extra time this morning. We didn't go to breakfast until after 9 since bus boarding was at 10. A short visit to a local "secular" temple that has a huge map of India and its neighbors, constructed into the floor in solid blocks of marble, about 100 years ago. Mahatma Gandhi was there for its dedication as "Mother India Temple." We had to remove our shoes, as usual. Had a "last chance" to observe the "organized chaos" on the street outside the temple area. Lots of cows. Makes me laugh to see a cow meandering down the street and all vehicles going around it. Different world.
We saw a
n elephant on the grounds near the temple and have no idea why it was there with the people. As Sanjay says, "God only knows."Back to the hotel to finish packing and bags out no later than noon. (Ours were out at 11:30 and the hotel workers immediately took them downstairs.) When we went into the lounge, we sat and waited for update on our flight to Delhi. Not unexpected... delay. Ate a veggie club sandwich and french fries (good tasting...) and relaxed. Good that I could find an outlet for the computer. Battery won't last too long. I decided to take the cables so I can plug in when we're in Delhi airport and maybe in Heathrow, too. Makes time go by more quickly. Doubtful that I'll get to upload anything but will be able to write.
