DAY 583

We had drinks and dinner at Delhi's Gymkhana Club this evening. I love this place, it's so easy to imagine its history. It was built in 1913 as a club for the British. This room has a sprung floor for dancing and somehow when you stand there you can picture it full of people. I've just finished reading The Fishing Fleet by Anne de Courcy about British women who came out to India between the 1700s and 1900s to find a husband, spending a lot of time at parties in clubs like this. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone interested in the Raj.
