Last night I took a train to Agra and got here this morning. Again I enjoyed looking out the window, in the morning this time I had to hang out in the entrance/exit area of the train to be able to see out, I had the "top bunk" where there are no windows. Met two cool Turkish guys (one around my age, one around 60 or so) on the train, (the younger one has a summer "art camp" on the beach in Turkey (www.kayasanat.com), the other is a freelance photographer and previously made a documentary about driving from Turkey to Mongolia/China/India (through Afghanistan, Pakistan, other 'Stans).
Anyhow we went to the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort together. The Taj Mahal is definitely spectacular, but I prefer watching people wash their goats in the Ganges in Varanasi.
The Red Fort was also nice. My favorite part was watching the monkeys play on the grass outside of the Fort. What can I say, I prefer action!
I'm staying at a place that has a rooftop restaurant with a vew of the Taj and the entrance gate. Tomorrow morning I'll head to Dehli.
