Varanasi to Delhi - Sheila Arrives - jim

When we finally arrived in Delhi we hurried to our hotel, the same one we stayed in when we first arrived from the Philippines, because we wanted to clean up, eat, nap a little and do a few chores before we had to go to the airport to meet Adam's mom, Shiela, who was arriving at the airport around 9PM to spend 10 days traveling with us. We got all that done in plenty of time and had the hotel find us a car that would take us to the airport, wait till we found Sheila and take us back to the hotel. It was a surprise to me how pleasant it was to return to a place I knew, even if just from a few days a month ago. When traveling I often forget how much work it is each time we reach a new city to find our way to a hotel, figure out where things are we want to see etc. So it was pleasant to be back in a city we knew a bit and a hotel that we were familiar with and liked. The trip to the airport to pick up Sheila was uneventful except that Adam and Sheila somehow were both in the arrivals hall for about a half hour without spotting one another, but eventually everyone found everyone and we were on our way back to the hotel in our Toyota Corolla with driver. It was funny how fancy the car seemed, it is really quite a small car, but it was probably the most room we have had and the only vehicle we have had to ourselves in about two months. Back at our hotel we visited for a while, though it was quite late for us, and then went to sleep. The next day we spent in Delhi. Adam and Shiela went out to do a little sightseeing and I stayed back at the hotel to catch up the blog, it seems like we are always behind on it, change money, rest a little, I cant sem to get rid of a cough and congestion from the cold I had a while back, and do a little organizing work for our upcoming trips.
