I was delighted to receive an email from Angela, a wonderful friend from Houston, who lives in Muscat.
After a bit of difficulty, Angela and Lila received their visas and arrived in Delhi.
True to my past history, the girls hit the ground running.
Our first stop after airport pickup at 9:30 am was the Qutab Minar 73 m high tower, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak. The first three storeys are red sandstone; the fourth and fifth storeys are marble and sandstone.

The Market was full of colour, music, buyers, sellers, families.
The next day we were up and on the road to Agra before 6 am. I am thrilled that John could also join us to see the Taj Mahal. Our drive was 3 hours.

Loved your post, Kathy. I hope you will post another of your photos to Agra. We loved both Agra and New Delhi....... I think the most eye-opening was the drive between the two.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see this when you first posted, so am glad that you sent the email about it. Not sure what is wrong with notifications - I have problems with some others as well.
great photos - love to join you there.
Thanks for the comments.. It is fun to share our adventure. You are welcome to come visit. Biggest problem is the small window of good weather, getting very hot here for touring outside
DeleteIt also won't let me comment under my wordpress ID.....
