While I was in Delhi for work, they needed me to go to Dhaka, Bangladesh for a couple of days to deal with some stuff there. There’s really not a lot to say about Dhaka, because its not the most exciting place in the world to go. Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world. Its also one of the most densely populated. Wikipedia says there are 13 million people in the city, but I also got estimates of closer to 16 million from people there. Continue reading
I know I’ve already noted how high and low Delhi can be, but this little bit of crazy deserved its own post. What the hell is someone driving a Lamborghini in the middle of Delhi for?
The Lodi Garden was easily the best thing in Delhi that I visited. In a city of millions and millions of people and a lot of noisy, chaotic traffic the Lodi Gardens turned out to be a nice little oasis. I think it really helped that the air was actually kind of clear that day.
Humayan’s Tomb is probably my favorite architectural thing that I saw in New Delhi. I feel a little strange saying that because even though it was much more impressive than the Red Fort, it had some deficiencies. The actual structure and the exterior are truly amazing.

Handful of pictures from my first day of sightseeing around New Delhi. Photos are of the India Gate memorial and surrounding area and of the government buildings and presidential palace.

Maybe the most amazing day on our trip, the Swiss Alps are simply incredible. These photos are from the morning in Montreux and the afternoon spent at the summit of Rochers-de-Naye.
This day takes on the mantle of contender for best day of the trip.
We started out pretty simply, walking along the lake in Montreux sampling tasty local Swiss ice cream, called Movenpick, and taking photos of the lake and parks along the walk.
The main event for the day was a train ride, essentially straight up a mountain, to one of the higher peaks in the immediate area. We had hoped for Continue reading
I just finished resizing a bunch of pictures from our first day in Switzerland and was getting ready to post them when I realized that I hadn’t finished a post talking about our time in Switzerland. So here is a quick rundown of a couple of our days there. We spent one day on a nearby peak name Roches-de-Naye that gets its own post because it was just that cool.
Lots of pictures today. Though it wasn’t my favorite place we went to during the honeymoon, it turned out to be one of the most photographically interesting.
