Agra - First Impressions

India is too much to describe; I think I need a few more days to digest the last day in Delhi before trying to put the experience into words, as you so often say. Saw the Taj Mahal as the sun rose this hazy morning. Walking through the warren of Old Delhi, which as poor as it seemed, is no where near as bad as an actual India slum, then riding the extraordinarily clean Delhi Metro, guarded by police with machine guns. Arriving in Agra at the tail end of the curfew from the riots. Too many jumbled images floating around.

I'm off to Khajuraho tomorrow. Hindu temples full of exquisitely preserved erotic carvings. Then on to Varanasi.
