More from the garden...


Okay, so this is a butt shot. I like it though because you can really see how unique and varied the tombs are. They are just stunning and to me, so totally exotic. Jason is telling me that this tomb is "the tomb of Sikandar Lodi". We have no idea who Lodi is, except that he lived from 1489 to 1517. Oh that and his tomb was really incredible!

The bridge. Athpula bridge to be correct. Dates from the 17th century and literally translates to "eight piers". This is Jason's art shot. Actually, its so good it looks nearly identical to the one in our guide book. And here is a secret for you. Public displays of affection are such no nos in India. In fact, young couples have to work really hard and escaping from their families in order to spend time with one another. Turns out, they do this in parks. Everywhere you look in the park (perhaps this one in particular is so beautiful), there are young couples cuddling in the shade. Its very romantic, and you can only imagine that in such a strict culture, this time alone must be a welcome retreat!
