Agra

28 December 2007 - Another fabulous trip to Agra.  My 4th time to see the Taj Mahal, but still not sick of it. 

Our bus

We highly recommend this method of travel. Our driver and assistant were great, and we had a row of seats turned around so we could face our friends and enjoy conversation

Loading up...

after our McDonalds breakfast

Flat tire

Changing the tire...

notice under the bus is our driver

Railroad crossing

notice the gate is down, or trying to come down

Pile of what?

Disease vector

What is he doing? and why? GROSS!

OUCH!

Man down! Man down!

Approaching from the South

The line to get in the Taj this time was ridiculous, especially for the men. We decided to walk through the surrounding town to the "local" South Gate. Nice short line.

Ahhhh, the Taj Gate

Fountains are on!

This is our fourth trip and the first time the fountains were on... it was beautiful

Earning his keep

Our friend B got to mow the lawn... how many people can say that?

LOVE IT!

At the Taj Guest House

We hadn't ventured over here before and were glad we did this time. The contrast of white and red was gorgeous.

The line to get in...

as we're leaving. It wound around the corner for quite a ways.

Getting back to the bus

At the Fort

Kids found some dark stairway...

and climbed up to find this overlook.
