Adventures in Agra and Beyond (Part III)
Here's what we did after hours (not much time):
Night 1: The Times of India staff that we shared the retreat house with threw a party on the lawn and invited us (mostly 'cause 6 people on the dance floor gets lonely). We danced and drank some in an eerie mix of nightclub lights, fog, and American and Indian techno music.
Night 2: Dinner at Sohini's house with the team -- beautiful view of the city, good food and good company.
Night 3: 2 hours at the tourist market. Bought a few nice things, but got some unwanted harassment by one of the vendors. People warned me Delhi guys were aggressive, but seriously!
Dinner at Anujas with the Delhi Fellows -- exhausted.
Day 4: our ONE free day!!!!
Went to Agra bright and early with some of the crew. First stop, Akbar's tomb where we had a terrible, semi-deaf guide, but took pics and saw monkeys. Then off to the Agra Fort -- beautiful. I got to play around with my camera features (yay for Sepia), even. Finally, after lunch (yummy veggie Thali) we paid a visit to the Taj Mahal. My camera died a few minutes in, but the best part were the people, the cool breeze, and the romance.
Night 5: Chill night in. We watched Baraka (the best and the worst photos set to music)
Night 6: Dinner, a few hour nap at Scott's palace and then off to the airport at 4am
