after visiting the mosque, we made the bumpy road trip to agra, past everything from three-wheelers and tour buses to carts pulled by oxen and even lumbering camels. my goal had been to see the taj mahal at sunset, but the glut of traffic (and no doubt an odd camel slowing things down) and a car accident left me just shy of agra when the sun sank quickly in the distance.
checked into the hotel and had an incredible christmas eve meal of lamb curry and garlic nan before settling into bed early for a 5 a.m. christmas morning wakeup call.
it was still pitch dark outside when the alarm went off. and there was no hot water in the shower at that ungodly hour. and to top things off, the power went out while i was trying to take the world's quickest show! not the most joyous start to christmas.
but seeing this view of the taj at sunrise made it all worthwhile.
