Golden Triangle - Agra

We took a cold bus to Agra. India was experiencing a 180 year record low temperature so it has actually been quite cold. In the morning, we visited the Red Fort which was a the palace of the Mogul Emperors. I enjoyed this more than I expected. The architecture was interesting and reminded me of a medieval city with a Indian or Middle Eastern style. We learned that the Emperor met his future Empress, Mumtaz, in a selective night market at the Red Fort.

We also visited the Baby Taj which was very nice. It’s built from similar marble as the Taj Mahal and overlooks a river.

We had masala pizza for lunch from an Indian Dominos.
