Since the first time I went to India, I did not get a chance to do any sightseeing, I thought I would extend my trip by one day and take the chance to visit some of the main attractions. Delhi is a very historic city, and I was able to visit a number of key sites: the area around the parliament and government ministries, India Gate, the Red Fort, Humayun’s tomb, the Lotus Temple and Qutb Minar. I also had a chance to go shopping at New Delhi Haat and CiE, as well as drive around Conaught place. Made for a very busy day before catching a flight back to Bangalore and then back to the US.

Here are some pictures which I took, exclusively with my iPhone:

I set up my Nikon D90 camera with a 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens (an inexpensive prime lens which I love!) on a tripod and using a wireless remote trigger.

We snapped a few photos while waiting for the school bus and Mateo getting on.

Andy’s father was able to hook us up with Press Passes, so we had access to the Pit Lane, Victory Lane, the race-track before the race. It was a great experience.

I also took a little video of a pit stop from where we were standing in the pit lane.

Looks like they were really enjoying the ride and the nice weather.

Nadia and Isabel go for a little ride in our driveway.

I have sorted through all the photos I took at the Air show, and took some of the best. I am still working through the photos for the IRL Race, which I will try to post later this week.

It is always amazing to look back at the year and realize how much they have changed.

We had family and friends over to have a small birthday party, and below are a few pictures we took. The girls were a little unsure about the cupcakes, although Nadia picked up quite quickly that she liked the sugar. My parents could not make it over, but we had them join the party virtually over Skype.

We went to Sesame Place, the Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia Zoo and took a nice walk along the Delaware Canal.

Here are some pictures we took:
