Long travel day. A delayed flight, a three plus hour drive from Delhi to Agra, less westernized restrooms. We did have a very late lunch at a Starbucks for something fast and familiar.
The hotel gave us the yellow dot, the sign of a guest.
Our tour guide Raj took us to a viewing area across from the Taj Mahal to get some photos before heading to an embroidery shop. When they give you tea or soda on entry you know you are doomed! We learned about the process, about the beautiful embroidery with gold and silver threads and jewels, of the same family and style of the queen when the kind saw her in the market and fell in love with her. Then we had the opportunity to view all the unique handiwork and purchase government subsidized works of art.
Excited for tomorrow!
