One nice thing about being in Delhi are there are an endless variety of sights to check out, the result of a city that has been around for a couple of thousand years. So we take advantage of these opportunities and try to be tourists at least one day a week. Today we went to one of the top tourist destinations in Delhi: Qatab Minar, the world's largest pillar, which was erected in the 13th to celebrate the Muslim victory over the Hindus. Uber continues to function amazingly well; it picked us up at our door and dropped us off for about $1.50. The site is a reasonably peaceful respite from the craziness of Delhi, and we extended our stay longer than we needed to, While there we got slightly scammed by someone who offered to take our picture and kept taking our pictures. By the end, it was pretty clear he expected some money. It only cost me a buck, but it was still a scam I should have seen coming. We got slightly scammed upon leaving when we decided to take the metro home. I was pretty sure the metro station was nearby. Here it only cost us about 75 cents to get a ride to a station we probably could have walked to. Such is the life of a tourist. On the way home, Jane finds stand making her favorite Indian food, the bread known as "nan." We buy 4 pieces for about 30 cents.
