Sightseeing

Infront of Qutb Minar
Saturday was really fun! The day before I was feeling pretty homesick and lonely so it was  nice to have a good day. Sid picked me up and we went to see a couple things in the city. We went to the Qutb Minar which is the tallest stone tower in India. It was named for the Muslim sultan Qutub-ud-din Aibak. The first Muslim mosque is next to the tower. We also went to a couple markets and looked around at all the beautiful colorful clothing, fabric, shoes and so much more. It was nice to go out but India is so exhausting. I am sure I will get use to it but there are so many people and so much going on all the time, that it takes effort to just be aware of what is happening right around you.
