More Old Delhi

The top pic is me in front of Humayun's Tomb built in 1565 by a wife to honor her husband who was the great grandfather of the man who used this tomb as the model for the Taj Mahal. It really contains 100 tombs.
The lower is a pic of me in front of the largest mosque in India - the Jama Mosque built in 1650. Jama means Friday = Muslim Holy Day. Note my "dress"! I had to "rent" & wear one because I had shorts. Also note the "official designated area" for feeding pigeons!
