New Delhi

Well I made it, phase one of my adventures begin with India. I arrived late last night to a steamy, hot, muggy New Delhi.  After a nap I woke up and went to lunch with the curriculum director for the school I will be working at, we of course had Indian food (which doesn't taste like Indian food at home.) She then oriented me to the neighborhood I am staying in which is near many embassies, including the US. This is the nice part of town... the two warnings I received: watch out for the dogs and the monkeys. Apparently there are packs of Delhi street dogs that can be a bit of a problem, I was told if I went walking or running to have a stick or something to hit/throw at them.  The monkeys just hang out, we saw a big one sitting in the middle of the sidewalk checking things out, while he didn't look menacing at the moment I surely do not want to cross him :)
