After close to 30 hours of flying and transit time, we reached our hotel in New Delhi around 2:00 am on the 26th. Following a much-needed shower, we were able to catch 5 solid hours of sleep before waking to a sunny Republic Day, the national holiday commemorating 62 years as a republic. Our guide showed us the parade route not far from our hotel where thousands of people had congregated to celebrate. We visited the Qatar Minar, a 234 ft. minaret built by the Moguls 12 centuries ago and toured the World Heritage Site of Humayun's Tomb (2nd c. Mogul ruler) built by his wife. The weather is beautiful right now and we thoroughly enjoyed our first full day in India.
