Driving today we are both tired from our adventures at the Red Fort yesterday but we are on our way anyway to a fun filled day! I will look for tangerines and cookies along the way and Definitely have a chai tea break somewhere .sitting in traffic now- a sunny warm day – we just passed the place where Obama spoke recently- in January.
As we came to a red light a child was at the window of our car, tossing a sticky spider man toy on the glass – I bought one (20 cents) so sad to see children like this!
I so enjoyed taking photos yesterday of women and children that I am planning on doing that again today. And Allynn is bringing balloons so – here we go! We are here!
2 hrs later- we had a blast! Went to a tall monument that was a great courtyard for picture taking . A very tender experience- There were so many nicely dressed women and children. I wanted their photos and they wanted mine – and Allynn’s. We spent the whole time posing for photos and we were Happy to do it! I think that they so seldom see people with light skin and light hair – and of course Allynn is wearing that cute hat- it makes us feel like celebrities! As soon as we pose with one person, then others want to pose with us too. And then I feel comfortable asking them to pose for me and it is a truly wonderful feeling of connecting and of appreciating each other. When I was taking photos of little children, Allynn made simple balloons to give them. This worked very well for about 45 minutes, until a guard appeared and said the balloons were not allowed at a national monument. He was very pleasant about it and by then we’d had enough of it all anyway. So we returned to our hotel. Allynn is ill tonight. I think it’s food poisoning. Poor Dear! Hope he is better in the morning. Nitey nite Annie
