Feeling much better here today. Yesterday we took a train from Delhi to Agra which holds the Taj Mahal! Got in about 10:00pm and thankfully were able to get a room in a very comfortable hotel.
We decided to get an early start to the day at 5:00am so we could beat the lines at the Taj Mahal and see some of the sunrise. Had a quick shower at which point the power went out. Showering in a dark, windowless bathroom...FUN! So we showered, dressed and packed in the dark with our little LED lights to guide us.
The Taj Mahal was amazing and beautiful. Lots of not-unique photos of course but who cares ...I was still there! Made me think of grandma Devi and Grandpa Mohan and the picture I have of them at the Taj Mahal on my bulletin board in my room.
Exhausted, Ronit and I decided to take a quick nap on a bench so when we woke up we woke to the sight of the Taj Mahal.
First meal in India was on top of a rooftop cafe...Dal Masala and some buttered chappati...YUM. Thank goodness I was able to eat finally! We are taking it easy today until our 11:30pm overnight train out of Agra to Varanasi where we are meeting up with Ronit's friend Tessa.
