After Delhi (12 million people on the street at once), Agra is a mere village of 1 million (cows). I've gotten to know some locals and they laugh when I ask if they have travelled outside of India. The cook at my hotel giggled "we are too poor - I once went to Delhi, but that's all".
It's not a cliche - The Taj Mahal is a jaw-dropping sight. Photos can't do justice and I certainly don't have the wits to describe it. To have a wonder-of-the-world in the middle of this mud-hut existence is hard to comprehend.
If I'm getting spooky here it's cuz... it's humbling (and spooky).
The heat is insane and I'm gonna head to the Himalyas as soon as I finish my commitments in this area.
Now, where did I put those antibiotics?
