Friday I spent some time with the other wives that came to India–Ellen, Eileen and Vivian. We saw Lodhi Gardens, the Gandhi museum, ate at a wonderful restaurant, and saw the Qutb Minar. We started at the gardens; it’s definitely a place schools bring classes, we saw plenty!
This is a mosque used during the Lodi dynasty in the 1400-1500’s.
Many of the students were very interested in us, especially Eileen with her blonde hair. They were excited to take a few photos.
Our next stop was the Gandhi museum. It’s on the property at which Gandhi lived his final days before he was shot. The museum is really well done, lots of information about his life and his last day.
I learned a lot about Gandhi here and realize that I want to know more. I’m definitely going to look into books about him. He began as a lawyer and made his way into civil rights in South Africa.
Our driver said our last stop was to see a tower. We didn’t realize it was an entire complex. Qutb Miner is the tallest tower in India. It’s beautiful, lots of colors and detail throughout. You can’t climb it, I’m sure the view would be amazing if you could.
There were many structures, but not many plaques describing what they were. We didn’t have a guide, so it was pretty much checking out cool scenes on our own. I did find one.
It was a good way to end a great trip. Sad that Ben wasn’t with me, but I had good company.
