Leaving for Delhi in a Week

Here are some notes:

It's spelled Delhi, not Dehli.

It's the capital of India, of course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Delhi

Yahoo! Travel (which is one thing piece of Yahoo's user generated content strategy that has borne fruit), has a bunch of suggested itineraries.

I am in-country on Independence Day, Aug 15, so maybe I'll fly a kite.

Throughout varying regions of India, there is a popular tradition of flying kites on the Independence Day. The sky is dotted with hundreds of colourful kites and people engage in kite-flying competitions. Balconies and roof-tops of houses are full of people flying kites and one can hear cheerful shouts of children in the evening as the kites soar in the sky.


I wonder if I can get to the mountains?
