We are on such a fast pace sometimes I forget where we are. we have spent as many nights on trains or busses as we have in a hotel. Out of our first 5 days we spent over 40hrs traveling. This is what we wanted to do though so it is working out. We want to maximize our time in Nepal is the reason we are going so fast.
Our trip to Agra was yet another interesting experience. We were lucky again to have good bunk mates. It was three travelers from Japan. We ended up meeting up with them for an evening in Agra. This trip was scheduled for 14hrs, but lasted about 19. That is not so bad it's actually expected. What made this journey a downer was the locals who sat next to us. They seemed to think it was party time. They were up all night yelling laughing playing music and sitting on the edge of our seats. I am not sure if it was a cultural difference or what, but I was pissed. Eventually we fell asleep through it all, but it gave me a bad taste for some of the locals.
Once we arrived to Agra everything was great. We arrived to out hotel will ease. From the roof top restaruant you could see the Taj Majal. It was so awesome to see it in person. I have seen so many pictures...but to be there in person. I couldn't believe how big it was. It was so massive you could see it from so far away.

We arrived on Friday and the Taj is closed on Fridays. We decided to the head to Agra Fort which was pretty awesome. The best part was when an angry monkey started chasing everybody. He was huge and for som
e reason pissed and security guard had to come chase him off with a stick. The picture is of some random guys that just wanted to take pictures with us. He came up to ask and he was a little shy so I just put my arm around him put on a big smile.

Though the Taj was closed on Friday we could go to the back side and get some up close pictures from across the river. This is where we met our Japanese friends. One of them actually went to university in Reno. She offered to take us around
when we visit Japan hopefully next year. The three of us took our fire poi and practiced out in the field behind the Taj. It was a surreal feeling doing some poi and gazing at the Taj Mahal.
The next day we woke up before sunrise to hopefully be one of the first ones in. We were not the first but we we
re early enough to get some good pics without too many people in the frame. It really was a great feeling walking around the Taj Mahal. I couldn't believe that I was actually there considering a month ago I was in Austin, Tx.
