Agra - not as fab as one may think. It has been the priciest of all the cities. But hey - had to see the TAJ =). Also the Agra Fort & Fatepur Sikri. See pics.
Fatepur is a walled in Muslim mosque - gender differences were very evident in the procession of prayers & burials. Women are no longer allowed to pray at the mosque & they were buried outside & not inside.
Met Rae, Clara & Ryan @ Agra. Rae is from Canada & taught english in Seoul. Clara was just a happy Aussie who was vacationing on her own. She was nice to sympathize about my issue w/Delhi. Ryan is an aussie as well - scientist & traveller. Travelled with him to Banenesh (Varanasi). Banenesh photos to come....
Agra Market
'Photo photo?' Kids love to get their pics taken. This one has nice color. not sure if it's a boy or a girl...
The gang w/beer
Beeeeeeeeeer! We were in search of a bar, but I read the map wrong...& it was too late. But beer in front of my hotel room - not too shabby.
On the bus
Ryan & I - our 1st time on public bus to Fatepur Sikri - 1-1.5 hours. Funny dude in the background.
The wheels on the bus go...
Ryan & Andreas (crazy Bavarian guy who's planning a 10-hr bus ride to Jaipur)

These women were great. The one on the right was loud & jolly...she thought my camera was film, so she kept on asking this guy from Kashmir why I was wasting film on her. They were on our trip back as... [more]
Fatepur Sikri-04
Inside the holy building...not one of the panels are ever the same. One can look out, but not see in. Beautiful.

February 26th 2008 - Lynn: Love the pictures
Hi Jen,
You've certainly covered the miles. Amazing all the places you've been and the rich experiences. Must be fun to meet so many new friends, too. I remembered how cold it was when I was at the Taj after looking at pictures of everyone looking COLD. Hope you find that sunny beach. BTW, what's momo? I thought I knew the names of most Indian dishes, but you got me there!
Love,
Lynn
