And on this day he rested!

After a whirlwind week of non-stop travel and sightseeing I decided to
take a day to recover. I mozied downstairs for a breakfast of tea, OJ,
and a honeyed pancake- this was going to be a good day! I went back to
my room and relaxed/read/wrote/napped until lunch.

After my delicious thukpa- a hearty Tibetan noodle soup- I ventured
outside into the Tibetan district. While still active, the hustle and
bustle of central Delhi was thankfully no where to be found. I found
the one internet cafe and proceeded to pound out travel updates for
the next 4 hours, costing me an exorbinant 80 rupees! ($1.60 for those
of you keeping track).

On my way back, I managed to get a little lost (imagine that) and
happened upon this narrow passageway that had a series of large wooden
Tibetan prayer wheels mounted on the wall for passerbys to spin. Quite
interesting.

Before dinner, I discovered the rooftop patio that overlooked the
river just behind the hotel. I would have spent more time out there if
it were not for the army of mosquitos that guarded the door.
