India part 3 – Taj Mahal

Another check mark on my lifelong list of things to do – the Taj Mahal was truly awesome! I traveled to Delhi this weekend, and spent Saturday touring Agra. I saw the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort (still actively used by the Indian Army), Akbar’s Mausoleum (built by Akbar for himself when he died), and the Itmad-ud-Daulah Tomb (contains the tombs of seven family members).  The Shatabdi Express took me to Agra in 2 hours, and served breakfast and dinner – very nice service compared to US trains (but the bathrooms have some room for improvement).  I’ve added many pictures with comments to my India album.
