Agra
We got out of Delhi for one day, on a bus trip to see the sights of Agra. The highlight of this trip was the Taj Mahal, and we also visited Agra Fort and Sikandra (Akbar's tomb). While on this tour, we met a new friend from Afghanistan named Ajmal and now we have an open invitation to visit his country anytime! Maybe one day we can take Ajmal up on his offer. The tour ended up turning into quite a day. Seeing the sights to and from Agra is definitely an experience that cannot be missed, however there were also some heart wrenching moments while there and en route. It is difficult to know what else to say without trivializing the the lives of these remarkable people, so instead we recommend anyone with the desire to experience this country to do so for themselves and formulate their own impressions of this fascinating and deeply rich culture.
