The first leg
So we're on our way... sort of. We've stopped over for a long layover in Chicago. Two of Kristin's good friends, who she hadn't seen in years ended up on the same plane with us, so that was exciting. Beyond that, the only event of note is the mini spat that we got into with the currency exchange lady. Every website we looked at had the standard currency exchange rate at around 40 rupees per dollar. The currency exchange lady offered us 34 plus a service fee... we told her that she was crooked and decided to exercise our bargaining power elsewhere in the airport only to find that she's the only person who could exchange currency. Needless to say, the ensuing exchange was pretty uncomfortable.

At any given moment, at any place on any street you can stop, look around, and you will see more cultural treasures than one can comprehend in a lifespan... Kristin, remember -- best pictures -- early morning, and late afternoon!
