A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.

Historic New Delhi - A Contrast to Old Delhi

 Today we toured a number of historic sites in New Delhi.  The pictures speak for themselves.  Clicking on the photos makes them larger.  Click no the name of the site for more information. Safdarjang's Tomb was built in 1753-54.  A burial place set in spacious gardens for Sardarjang, who was a very wealthy prime minister in the Mogul Empire.   Lodhi Gardens is a beautiful park in the centre of New Delhi which contains three tombs of rulers from the Lodhi Dynasty (1451-1526).   Humayun's Tomb might look somewhat familiar as the famous Taj Mahal is based on its design.  Built in 1570, it is a great example of Mughal architecture.  It is a UNESCO world heritage site.   Excavations at Purana Qila  are revealing an ancient settlement from around 1200 BCE.  They are on the site of Purana Qila, one of the oldest forts in Delhi and was built by the second Mughal Emperor Humayun.
