INDIA – Old Delhi

by

I had been wanting to come to India for a while.  I wanted to feel like I was in a different place.   I got what I wanted.   I was up early and went through some of Old Delhi.   Most of guys in the photos are getting ready for market.  I think I walked in on where they live.  I guess they do the live/work thing like we do but with outdoor showers.   They are in the spice market area.  rachel_elkind_Delhi_002having a smoke rachel_elkind_Delhi_010getting ready for market belowrachel_elkind_Delhi_001

i watched this monkey steel this piece of fruit and run up here.  Check out the electrical work which is really common.   I don’t know if the monkey is good for sales for the ladies boutique but I did notice the sign.

Old Delhi is a busy place…dirty and loud but with lots of character.
