Spice Market!

Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Delhi

After the Mosque we got into bicycle rickshaws.  Every rickshaw carried two people. Even though our group had 11 people, the tour guide, Mr. Singh was with us so it worked out well.

Away we go!

Our driver worked very hard

School kids.

We drove by so many fabric stores. I so wanted to jump out and shop!

that is an amazing amount of whatever that is!

Our rickshaw driver was going to wait for us at the drop off point, and we went for a walk to the spice shops.

Flower sales

Dried fruits and nuts

The wires.  these were the safest looking for the overhead wires we saw

another loaded bicycle

Back on our bicycle. All of this wood product is turned out by hand.

Beads and bangles

Fresh Vegetables. Most people get their produce from carts, not a grocery store.

All the wires I am sure are to some kind of code.  They made me nervous.

a couple buying wedding invitations

there was an invitation shop with very fancy letters that said Titanic.  I am not sure that is a good name for a wedding invitation shop.

now for some of Mark's pictures of the crazy bicycle rickshaw ride!

SO close to everyone else, but we never hit anyone

walking through the spice area

The smells were amazing

Back with our driver

Ladder delivery

a sort of empty street

The spices, the fabric, the wedding cards, and now auto parts.  Makes perfect sense

The ride was great! SO much fun, and it was wonderful to see everything.  We saw no accidents even with this amount of people, cars, carts, rickshaws, motorcycles, and walkers.
