India: Agra

Saturday I went to Agra with a woman from Madacascar by the name of Ando. Ando was doing some consulting for PSI India and will be visiting for just one week. We decided to make the 4 hour trip to see the Taj Mahal and Redfort. On the way back we also visited Mathura, birthplace of the God Krishna.

The trip was an overall success purely because of the Taj Mahal. Everything before and after sucked-ass. See the pics below for a narrative on the day. In short, our driver sucked, Agra outside the Taj Mahal felt like Disney World in the middle of a civil war, and Mathura was a very hostile place for a Westerner. However it was all worth it for two hours of peace and awe-inspiring sights on the ground of the Taj Mahal.
