Just back this morning from Delhi, which I found rather unforgettable and lacking character. I said so to people at work with the disclaimer that I wasn't really there long enough to make a judgment and they immediately disagreed--with the fact that I shouldn't judge Delhi. They seem to second my assessment a great deal.
But Agra and the Taj were worth it. It was surreal being there, actually. And here's proof that I was.
If I did one trip to play tourist, I'm glad this was it.
I had a lovely chat the whole train trip back with this British (by way of New Zealand) woman who met her son and son's girlfriend who have spent the last year cycling from Singapore. I love meeting people traveling--we talked non-stop for two hours, but I don't even know her name and will probably never see her again in my life. There's something sort of comforting about that level of transience and acquaintance.
I leave tomorrow night, which is hard to believe. I haven't quite made sense of this whole experience, but I suppose I have 24 hours of travel ahead that will be a great time to do so.
