Agra - November 11th

Happy Remembrance Day to all our family and friends!!! No acknowledgement about the day here at all.....not even from our American friends on the tour!! Bummer!!

An early start to what has turned out to be an eventful day. The Taj Mahal is truly wonderous!!! Lots of pictures.....unfortunately one of our tour members was going to take a picture of Gail with her camera and dropped it.......it is broken!!! Yuk!!! Kind of put a damper on Gail's day to say the least.

Joyce's cold/chest congestion was worse so, reluctantly, with the advice of a doctor traveling with us, has started a course of antibiotics!!!! (ones brought from home "just in case")!!

We took in a couple of other sights today.....Joyce missing one of them, choosing to sit on the bus in the sun and maybe snooze!!!

High tea with a delightful Indian family tonight. We were served tea, samosas and Indian snacks. Our host's home was lovely and the "neighborhood" they live in was all decorated up for Diwali which starts on Tuesday 13th.

Up early tomorrow to catch a train to Jhansi.

  1. A cool and grey Remembrance Day here, but dry.
    The Taj Mahal - majestic. And a wonderful photo (without crowds of people) with a perfect reflection in the pool!
    Sorry to hear about the camera - hopefully you can pick another one up for the remainder of the trip.
    Hoping the antibiotics work their magic.
    Happy adventures!
