taj mahal

how whippleville does the taj mahal....(not necessarily recommended for general public)

  • 4am wakeup
  • breakfast
  • taxi before dawn to new delhi station
  • a line outside the train station wrapping around sleeping people

  • going in the train station exit to board with the others who didn't want to wait in line, with approval
  • boarding via platform 9 3/4 (for you potter fans - which Noah was compared to all day long)
  • breakfast #2 potato logs of some sort, carrots and green beans, toast and butter
  • shared truth with a Sikh man (seth)
  • sat next to an Indian who recruits for a firm in Dallas, who was very
    much in control of her own destiny (Denise)
  • arrive in Agra before most things open, so we go with our friends who have yet to eat breakfast to an old hangout for breakfast #3.
  • transfer from car to camel for final leg of journey to the Taj Mahal as they do not allow motor vehicles to get anywhere close to it.
  • now...pictures are better than words

  1. Wow! These pics are awesome! The schedule that got you there... exhausting! I love the pic that has the receding doorways with one Whipple kid in each doorway. I bet that one has frameable potential, not to mention scrapbook-able potential! (Would love to see a higher res of that pic b/c I cannot enlarge this one w/out it pixelating.) Thanks for the update. :-)
