Days 1-3

We are all alive and well. So far, no sickness aside from some mild heat stroke-- nothing electrolyte water can't fix. (Note Jacqueline's extensive med bag.)




Hotels and food have been heaven so far. We went to some Delhi sites today and took our first train ride. Went to a lovely garden for lunch (Lodi) that was like a piece of airconditioned heaven in the middle of a rainforest.




We also went to see Humayun's Tomb in Delhi (he was some really unattractive emperor according to Wikipedia). The tomb of Humayun was built by the orders of Humayun's widow starting in 1562. It is a world heritage site and covers a huge piece of land...walking around it gave us heatstroke, so we aren't super happy with Humayun right now.
So, we then took our train to Agra and are heading to the Taj Mahal tomorrow.
Cheers!
