I tagged along with two other volunteers on a quick weekend trip to Delhi.
It actually began here (see picture below), where I spent the night before the trip. Yes, Virginia, there is a swimming pool in India! Although I was slightly weirded out by the drastic, to say the least, socioeconomic contrast with my usual surroundings. A friend of a friend's house in Chennai; they weren't there so it was just me, the guards, and the maids.

Scenes from the Spice Market:

And finally, the one and only, breathtaking, awe-inspiring, knock-your-socks-off Taj Mahal.
