Honk if you've got one...

This post is coming to you from the honking capital of the world- New Delhi, India.  We are here for my modular courses.  These people honk more in a couple hours than I've honked in my entire 15 years of driving!

Our trip started in Turkey and what could have been a 25-minute drive to the airport took 2 hours because of the traffic.  From there we flew into Doha, Qatar and laid over for a couple of hours.  Folks, there is no inkling that this part of the world is apart of the worldwide recession going on.  People were spending crazy money in the "Duty-Free" shops.  Sitting in the middle of one of the shops was a Audi A8 and MB AMG that you could win.  I taught Veta how to people-watch and we enjoyed all the different kinds of people that this airport welcomed. 

We got into India about 7:45 in the morning and found our way to the guest house. We ended up paying about 200 rupees more than what we were told it might cost for the taxi ride.  I told the taxi driver and he said whoever told us was wrong, so what are you going to do... The weather is much warmer than where we were, but not quite like Florida weather yet.

There are plenty of people, motorcycles, rickshaws, and cars EVERYWHERE!

Please be lifting up our family since this is our 2nd international travel in a little more than a week and another (more extreme) time change.
