Since we have plenty of free time on our hands (I bet we don't repeat those words for awhile), we decided to take a day trip to Agra. I was positive making plans would induce labor, but no such luck. Oh well. We were in Agra in March to see the Taj, but didn't have time to visit the Agra Fort or Fatehpur Sikri, so yesterday was the day. Apparently, we are the only couple to visit Agra and not go to the Taj Mahal. The day was filled with lots of lessons about the, oh so powerful ruler, Akbar! Both places are worth a trip; however the Fort was far superior to Fatehpur Sikri. Enjoy some pictures...especially all of you east coasters stuck in winter wonderland:)

Beautiful pictures. We visited Agra aswell during our first stay in Mumbai. It was a great trip (flight to Delhi - car to Agra - Jaipur - flight to Mumbai) with private driver and guides. Great to see that you are filling your time with such fantastic experiences!
Warm greetings from autumn Sweden!
