Agra
The Red Fort and the Taj Mahal!
Today we woke up eventually and took a self guided tour of Agra's Red Fort!
It was as hot as it was cool. I mean the fort was cool, but Agra was wicked hot. At the fort we saw tombs of Mughal rulers, and we found a hallway infested with bats. BIG ones!!!
Then we went over the river to the baby Taj.
It was so hot out that we melted, and went home to change into a dry shirt.
Then we went to the BIG Taj Mahal. It cost 1500 rupees to get in.
They searched our bag at security, and confiscated ELMO!! This is a true story, we think they thought he was an idol. (or a terrorist?) anyway they kept him safe under a metal can and returned him when we left the Taj.
We fought our way past the professional "photographers" and got some great shots!
Some Indian tourists wanted to take pictures with Kaitlin at the Taj. She must have looked famous!
We then took a cab home
We were hungry so we ordered room service.
