A few old pics from 1979 in Pahar Ganj...

Dave again.....
Ah well, couldn't help myself editing down and posting a few pics from Pahar Ganj back in 1979 just before we're about to head there again.  I scanned in these slides a few years ago, but at relatively low res.  Still, they're good to get an idea of some aspects of the place.  I'm sure there are lots of changes just since I stopped there a few years back on the annual jaunt.  For Maggie it'll be all new....interesting to get her take on the area.

A view north on the main road of Pahar Ganj.

This early morning street scene is from the summer of 1979.
It's often just too hot to sleep indoors.

Not a particularly common site even then.

.....and a pic of Anne & me in 1979 in Pushkar - this year's first stop after Delhi 
A long story to this pic, but not for now.
