We've arrived in Delhi

Hello all!
After another few delayed flights we've arrived at our last stop, Delhi. I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile our Internet isn't free anymore and we've been trying to soak up as much as we can with a limited time left! Since I last posted( a few minutes ago, written a few days ago) we've been to the Ajanta and Ellora caves. Both sites were really cool to see as they were massive structures made from a single stone a super long time ago. The Ajanta caves are all Buddhist caves. It was interesting to see the difference among these caves in comparison to what we had seen before. Earlier we have mainly seen Hindu temples so it was a little different in the layout as well. Today we went to the Ellora caves. These are a combination of 3 religions, Jains, Hindu and Buddhist. All were pretty interesting and were again massive structures that its hard to fathom the amount of work that went into creating these structures. After our time in aurangubad we went to one of our last experiences at an Indian airport. Of course it hasn't failed us yet, our flight was delayed for 2 hours. We spent a good amount of time catching up on our journals and other miscellaneous things to keep us occupied. Tonight we arrived in Delhi for our final destination. It's interesting to see the differences among the north and south as the road system was the first noticeable thing we could tell. I'm excited to see what tomorrow will bring for us. We start the day with our last class time in the morning. In the next few days we will be going to the Taj Mahal which will be very exciting!!:)
