Seeing the Sights

How cool is this?



A new friend (who lives in the Delhi area) passed along a website that linked to the Urban Crayon Press : Delhi :


Rediscover Delhi through your Child’s Eyes!
Run out of ideas to entertain kids over the week-end?
Want to plan an unusual family holiday?
Stressed about child-unfriendly places?


This family-friendly travel guide highlights all the fun things to do in New Delhi that will keep your little globetrotters entertained.
Arranged in twelve useful categories such as Playground Paradise (trips to gardens, nature walks); Dudes (activities for boys); Divas (options for girls); and Day Trippin’ (outdoor adventurous fun); the guide caters to your child’s different moods and inclinations.
Urban Crayon not only helps families plan a memorable trip in the city, it tells them what to do (the train museum is a must-see) and where to go when the little ones, well, need to go (some of the cleanest bathrooms can be found in Santushti shopping complex and some of the best stores, too).

Each section gives families ideas for different age groups and sexes, and for different occasions. Have you tried the Ice-cream Museum? Did you know your kids can do rock climbing, ballooning and parasailing near Delhi? What are the most fun places to take your nine-year-old daughter for a girly treat? And which are the most child-friendly coffee shops in the city?

Bursting with great ideas, Urban Crayon Delhi is the indispensible guide for every parent in the city.

I emailed the company to inquire as to where I could purchase a specific book, and ended up trading emails with Kim, the owner of Urban Crayon Press.  Her first reply was humorous, as she asked whether her driver could drop off the books to us. 

We plan to touch bases when we arrive in Delhi so that I can get my hands on some of her books.

It was way fun to then receive an email from a friend here in Ohio, asking me "Have you heard about this?" and forwarding me this piece from Daily Babble

It really is a small world ...
