Our YSA FHE Fireside good bye to the Ricks.
The Kutab Minar at a distance, just inside the park.

An old Muslin Mosque at the entrance of the park.


A family stopped us and wanted to talk. They also wanted a photo of us with their children. The oldest daughter is in the red, the younger daughter has the black scarf around her head. The boys will never cut their hair, and it is worn with the traditional top knot and tight cap over their hair. Their father had a full turban on his head. They were only one of several families that we talked to and had our picture taken with. We really enjoyed the afternoon. It was not at all crowded, it was clean, and everyone was friendly.








Some of the other buildings surrounding the Kutab Minar have not survived as well as the tower.




















Many of the children that wanted to talk to us also wanted to have their pictures taken with us. This is a delightful little girl that asked if she could interview us. Then she wanted a photo with us.








The Kutab Minar is faced with sandstone. It recently has been cleaned and it is very beautiful.
