(Jan. 6) This is the massive entry way to Red Fort. Remants of a moat that surrounded the fort are still evident. Red Fort is left from the Mughal Empire (approx. 1500 and beyond). The founder of the Mughal line was Babur, a descendant of Ghenghis Khan.

These are buildings that you will find behind the walls of Red Fort. It is a fantasy land, with baths, fountains, temples, and royal quarters.

Below, to the left, in the rear, you can see a throne stand of marble. The throne, once gilt in gold and silver, is gone. It is easy to imagine the grandeur of the past.

(Jan. 6) After lunch, we took a walk through Old Delhi. These are random shots from the sidewalk as we were walking.

The distant objects that are washed out give a sense of the air quality.

(Jan. 6) When in Delhi, try Pind Balluchi, near Connaught Place. Lots of yummy kabab, paneer, and tandoori dishes. We tried about six different things and liked it all.

(Jan. 6) This is David and Kathleen. They will be in south India. Kathleen's passion is for helping women find their voices. David loves performance.

(Jan. 6) This is Ed. We met at the Fulbright orientation in Delhi, India, on January 5, 2010, the start of our great adventures. Ed will be in Kolkata. He will be teaching Virginia Woolf. His love is W.B. Yeats.

Here's where it all started - Washington D.C. The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by then Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. Here I am in Washington in June 2009 for an orientation. Here you can't see my fun daughter, Meghan, who was also on a bicycle, nor my wife, who was back at the hotel. If you are an academic or a student, you should think about applying for a Fulbright award.
