10/4 agra, india

After Delhi, off to Agra. We started with the Taj Mahal, which might be the only building in the world which is better than the pictures. But the Taj is only one building of this Mughal capital. See pictures.

You'll probably see this one framed in our home, as soon as we have a home...
It's huge, and it's all intricately carved marble.
These birds were just flying around everywhere. Like the monkeys that just cruised along the windowsills or the cows that wandered the streets.

One of the buildings that flank the Taj.
You might see this one in our home too.
The Taj complex is massive.
Indian lawn mower.
Tomb of Akbar the Great (grandfather of Shah Jehan). This was probably the apex of Mughal might.

One of the 4 gates leading to Akbar's tomb.
View of the Taj from Agra Fort, built by Akbar.
Akbar's bathtub, largest one hewn from one stone, I was told...
Agra fort
The sweet 1st class train that got us from Agra to Jaipur at 1am or so. Good times.
