Hello everyone, just a quick update because my time's running out on this computer. We have enjoyed the truly unique country of India, with the super-friendly people (sometimes so friendly you think to yourself it's creepy) and the delicious food that's hard to forget. Most of all, we enjoyed the Taj Mahal. That Emperor had commitment! 22 years, 20,000 people, massive tons of marble and precious stones to boot - all to spend somber time remembering his beautiful late wife...Tomorrow we're on a day trip from Agra to see Fatehpur Sikri, then more relaxing at the hotel and back to New Delhi the day after for sightseeing and a day trip to Jaipur. I'll keep you posted!
Isn't the Taj just incredible? I was there three years ago and just kept thinking, I am at Taj Mahal! I was also amazed at how unprotected it is (besides removal of shoes). Enjoy your stay in Delhi!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your amazing adventure! You guys have packed so much in already!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! I don't know if you will have a chance, but I read a book about India called "Shantaram." It was amazing - maybe for when you return. I look forward to hearing about your impressions of India. ;)
