well, josh almost didnt. lol he had it in his head that we were leaving on tuesday instead of monday, good thing i texted him asking what our flight number was since my itinerary was packed in my checked bag.
but we made it. the plane ride was long, 11 hrs to korea from seattle and 7.5 hrs to delhi. i was an unconscious zombie for most of it.
from the airport we immediately went to the train station, which was not an ideal place to hang out for 2 hrs while we waited for our train, but thats ok. the train ride through farm lands to agra was interesting. lots to see out the window, not all of it worth dwelling on.
we explored taj mahal and the agra fort yesterday, it was indian independence day and there were literally millions of people around. i was fascinated by the red structures to the east and west of the taj that are never shown in photographs. all of it reminded me so much of turkey so i was in heaven.
we spent the night in a nice hostel with AC. it is really muggy here, humid and sticky but certainly not unbearable... yet.
this am we are headed to khajuraho to see the famous 'sex temples'. the train to get there is a long one and will be an adventure in the least to get on it.
we head back to delhi on saturday to meet up with the program director from nature quest and receive our orientation.
oh and the food is most delishious!
