Namaste

Hi Everyone. Thanks for reading, hopefully your enjoying them. Well I'm in Agra right now. Last night I took the train from Delhi to Agra which suppose to be about 3 hours although it ended up being almost 5. It wasn't too bad, air conditioned car and a sleeper bunk. I talked to a man from Bombay for a while. Turns out he used to live in Canada and the US. He seemed pretty legit about his stories and he knew where the Guvernmnt was in Toronto and he was talking about how much he liked it. He told me I should have went to the Philippines because of the good price of women. It was a good conversation.

Even though Agra isn't that far from Delhi the life style here is very different. It's a bit slower pace and it's actually a lot warmer. Probably over 35 in the sun. So after the train ride last night I hired a ricksaw driver from the station and he took me to Hotel Sheela. The driver is Aslam and is very good. He's my tour guide for the day and knows the area very well and speaks good english. I had probably the best chicken ever last night: tandoori chicken. So good. today for breakfast I had eggs and some toast with mango jam and a masala omlette. All good. So the plan for the rest of the day is too visit Agra Fort and then find something to kill time before my train ride tonight. It's suppose to be a 13 hour train ride starting at 11:30, I'll figure on it being closer to 16 hours.

Well back to the heat.

Andrew
