Spring Break in Photos: Delhi and Agra

Humayun's Tomb at sunrise. Liz and I went here after our overnight bus ride. This is a photo tour of our whirlwind 30 hours in Delhi and Agra, which included not having train tickets back from Agra to Delhi and carrying our bags everywhere.

I really enjoy self timed photos. We are on top of part of a tomb. There were Indians exercising in the park, which is the only time I've seen people exercising over here. The complex has 160 people entombed.


Then we went to the Lotus Temple, which is a Bahai'i temple that is silent inside and gorgeous. It has no decorations, just ros and rows of pews and high ceilings. It reminded me of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.


Then we went to the house where Gandhi lived his last 144 days, and stood on the spot where he was shot.


Cliche Taj Mahal photo. Which is also fabulous. The Taj Mahal is gigantic and gorgeous and brilliantly white and you should check out the story behind it if you don't already know it.
