We first stopped at India Gate, which was very interesting because it has the names of all the soldiers who fought in WWII carved into the stone of the monument. It is gorgeous. It is placed to honor everyone who fought in the war and is also very symbolic of the way that India is now governed. When the British ruled the country, the king would sit at his throne in the president’s house and say that all of his foot was over India. Now, the president’s house and India Gate are on the exact same level. Such a cool symbol.

A different viewIt was a beautiful monument and we found my prince there… This is him:
No man can compete with such beauty LOL ☺After India Gate we strolled to the President’s house, which is about a km down the road and saw that. It was pretty cool as well. Apparently, later on in our stay we are actually going inside it because Samir has connections with the government and can take us. Here are some pics from it...
This is how the grass is taken away after mowing the fields... Isn't that crazy? The guy we were with said that they take it and feed it to the animals in the city.
These are the guards that are guarding the President's House... I thought they looked like Indian GI Joe's... especially the one in the dome LOL

I love India, mostly because everywhere you look there are pics of elephants... Goodness this country is awesome!
