Today as we were in Agra a man told us that Indians think of their stomach
first always, then God. Which means when it comes to getting food, that is their
first priority. This makes me more forgiving of the constant harassment we take
from people who want money from us. It is out of pure desperation that they do
this in many cases.
Beautiful sights from more Mughal architechture
The outside of the fort
A view of the inside
Me with the Taj Mahal in the background. What a view!
Another inside view of the main palace
These guys were amazing. They were very fast at tying and cutting knots.
The room full of Persian rugs that we were suppose to buy. The picture doesn't really show how cool these rugs were. But it was a little grueling the pressure put on us foreigners. I think our taxi driver was getting paid commission to take us to these tourist traps. We got taken to stores with salesmen claiming their goods were purely authentic. We tried to just joke with them and make the best of it and I told them I wasn't in the mood to buy clothes! Glad I got out of that one...
