Hello, it’s Sloan! The day after we went to the Taj Mahal we went to the Agra Fort (10 December). WARNING: You must know that before you read this that the Taj Mahal was much more fun.
When we first when outside that morning at about eight o’clock it was so foggy I couldn’t see twenty feet in front of me. I knew from that point at least that morning was a bad day to go
sightseeing. When we got to the fort we had to walk down this path until there we saw some different paths. There was also a big chunk of it blocked off because the Navy or Army was doing training in those areas. We chose one path to walk down (according to the map) and saw many temples and palaces. Even when it was about nine o’clock it was just as foggy.

Another thing that wasn’t so good was that we wouldn’t get a tour guide. Since we had Vijay for our rickshaw driver for the whole time we where in Agra, he repeated his two rules because he still seemed mad from the day before. I’m one hundred percent sure that if we got a tour guide it would have been better.
If we could do anything again in India I would choose to go back to the Agra Fort. I’m sure we could see a lot more and we would definitely hire a tour guide no matter what Vijay says.

Hi Sloan:
It is great to have posts from both you and Hailey today. Sorry the Agra Fort wasn't as exciting as the Taj Mahal - (that's a tough one to top!) Sounds like Vijay the rickshaw driver had strict rules for you guys and didn't like it when you didn't listen to him!
I do really like the photos you posted. The architectural details are beautiful - I assume they are inlaid tile and marble. I am learning a lot about India from your writing and photos. I was not expecting to see fog this time of year there. That photo almost looks like Scotland - and you certainly are a long way from there! Sounds like every day is a true adventure. I look forward to the next chapter. Thanks for taking all of us on your trip!
Have lot's of fun and best to all the other trooper's.
Charna
