The journey has begun! We arrived in New Delhi this morning after 23 hours of traveling. Our flights were uneventful and we collected ALL of our luggage upon our arrival! Although there were several power outages while we were trying to get our bags that literally left us in the dark for 15 – 20 mins. This did not seem to adversely affect the team’s attitude as you can see below. We had fun laughing and talking while standing around in the dark!

After gathering our luggage, we piled into taxi’s for the 40 min trip to our hotel. It was an interesting introduction to Delhi as we clipped anther vehicle, witnessed people urinating on the side of the road, and saw cows roaming expressways.

We are settling into our room and are planning on going out for a meal in just a bit. We walked around the streets earlier, the temperature is around 110. Needless to say the walk didn’t last long. Here is a picture of a vendor near our hotel.

We leave for Pune tomorrow afternoon and will try to post another update once we have settled into our new location this weekend.
