Iam going to try to post a couple of pictures and save the rest of the story of the last two days for when I have a little more time. It is now about 10:30 at night on Wednesday and we are scheduled to be in the hotel lobby at 8:55 a.m. for a day that will begin with a meeting with the Press and concluding with a formal dinner at the Ambassador's house.
Yesterday we left the hotel at 5:15 a.m. to catch the 6:30 train to Agra. While the destination was a highlight of the trip for all of us, the journey back and forth was a window on the world that is India. These were typical scenes along the tracks on the train ride to Agra--and there were similar scenes on each side of the highway on the bus ride back to Delhi.
The more I reflect on those sights and sounds, the more I struggle to find words--but I promise to return to that story.
The Taj Mahal is more beautiful than the pictures show. I am going to stop here and add more pictures in the next post.

How marvelous to see the Taj Mahal! And what diversity there is to see in India as you travel. The zeal for education is definitely an example. Sounds terrific so far! Maia
Wow --it adds so much to see the pictures. I hope I get the opportunity to visit there some day.
