Today was our last day of the first leg of our trip so we will be leaving Delhi in the morning by hired car to Rishikesh (more on this later). We decided to spend a half-day at the spice market in Chandni Chowk (a very large market near the Red Fort that we had visited the day before). The market’s main promenade begins across the street from the Red Fort and is framed by several large temples and a mosque.

The afternoon and evening we spent packing for Monday’s trip to Rishikesh. We consolidated the stuff we would need into just one of our bags and left the rest with the hotel in Delhi (we will be back there for a night on March 2nd). Around 4 PM the wind began to pick up outside, and thunder crashed in the distance. Eventually the thunder and lightning got very close, flashing and crackling in the air around us and shaking the building. Soon the rain came, and very hard. The storm lasted into the evening and gave Delhi and the whole central plains a good washing.
