the smell of the raw sewage is awful

So I made it out of Delhi alive, that city is just a bunch of shit. Completely a shit city. Its nice to be gone and not have to deal with all of the touts and beggars, not that there aren't a bunch here in Agra, they just seem less hostile. The sewage drain outside of this internet cafe is just filled to the brim and really stinky, so this is gonna have to be quick.

We took a train out of Delhi, second class sleeper, it was only two and a half hours to get to Agra from Delhi (The Taj Mahal is in Agra). The train was better than I expected, very hot and steamy at about 97 degrees but not too crowded. Once we got to Agra we checked in to our guest house and went up to the roof top to grab something to eat. The view is amazing, all you can see is the Taj, and holy shit is it huge. We are gonna go watch the sunset tonight and then go into the Taj tomorrow at sunrise. It should be amazing. After we see the Taj we are going to leave Agra and head north to escape this oppresing heat. Next up is Haridwar which is at the base of the Himalya's right where the Ganges river emerges. They have a bunch of cool religous ceremonies every night and it should be a much more mild temperature as well.

Ive met a lot of really cool people so far, I can understand why someone would be able to come here and travel alone. Right now we are traveling with a girl from Denmark, however she kind of sucks, and basically just latched on to us because she is freaked out. Ill write again when I get to Haridwar.

Peace,
