INDIA, OLD DELHI: FAITH TOUR

 December 23, 2025 

We had scheduled a tour called "Food and Faith." We had done the food part (see previous post), and so now it was time for the faith part.

We began with this typical street scene:

Except it wasn't typical, at least not in India:

Established in 1814, the Central Baptist Church is one of the oldest Christian churches in Delhi. It is located on a VERY busy road in the Chandni Chowk market area where we had just eaten a lot of delicious food.

It is a pretty building with a colonnaded porch with arched openings.

TUNISIA, DAY 3: TUNIS - THE BARDO MUSEUM

 March 22, 2024

On our way to our next destination, we passed by the Tunisian Parliament building.  Its style really seems to fit what we had seen of the country. I love it.

Somewhere near there we picked up our guide Feker's cousin (on the right next to Stan, below):

There are multiple gates to the old town/medina of Tunis still standing, and this is one of them: the Bab Saadoun gate, first constructed as one arch in 1350 and reconstructed in 1881 with three arches to better handle the traffic. The wall it was once part of is gone, but the gate remains as the central feature of a modern roundabout.

Wikipedia has a picture of what it looked like with one arch in 1880:

. . . and another photo from 1940 showing what it looked like when the wall was still there.
