Guide and Driver

We spent two days with these gentlemen. The one on the right was our guide who would take us through all the sites and would give us a great history lesson about each of them. 

The man on the left, he was our driver. Even though he only spoke a few words to us we give him much respect for keeping us alive in the insane way people drive here. You can easily see a family of four on one tiny motorcycle, with a 6 year old driving his father, mother and older sister... Only the dad had a helmet on. And when we mean you can see it, we did. Also infants hanging outside of auto rickshaws. Carolyn - you did warn us of this. And yet, there are barely any car accidents, but horns they are never short of. They are sort of the sounds of Delhi. 
But back to the driver, we know it doesn't look it, but we swear he never stopped smiling, of course until we took a picture. 

Tomorrow we head to Agra where the Taj Mahal is so we will be sure to post many more pictures!
