A few days back from Delhi and Midterms

What an amazing trip! India is something I never would have imagined but beautiful and sad at the same time. We (my professor, and some other students from my restoration class) stayed at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Delhi, the largest Catholic Church in the city. We were working on a Last Supper painting which had the actual faces of past Priests, represented as Jesus' disciples. 

We were in the "old folks" home for the fathers. So ate 3 meals a day at a certain time 8am, 12pm and 7pm, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was good, but since we were hanging out with the elderly a certain diet had to be given so no salt of too much spice. On the other hand had some awesome Indian food. Worked 6 hours a day, sometimes less, and had some chances to get out and see the city. Journeyed to Agra and saw the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and this beautiful temple in Delhi, called Akshradham. 

Saw elephants, monkeys, beautiful women in colorful saris! Met some nice people from the church made friends with one of the father's and his wife and daughter. They took us shopping and to get henna done. Arrived back in Florence with some bad virus, not so fun but finished mid-terms and spring break has begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pictures soon to come.
