Agra

Agra marked a low point for the trip. I was tired angry and really aggressive with the touts and other folks that lived off of tourists. Agra is the home of the Taj Mahal and therefore is swarming with tourists and people who are trying to live off of them. The hustlers were wild aggressive and in response I got wild aggressive back. I walked into people pushed others and in general indulged a side of myself that I really don't know too well. It sucked the good time out of just about everything. The people in out hotel were unpleasant and we got equally unpleasant. On the way to Fetahpur Sikri (spelled really wrong) there were all types of games to try and get money out of us. I went through the roof on one occasion and got the encredbily satisfying feeling of seeing the expression on a persons face that said 'lets not mess with this one.' As nasty as we got it really was a response to what was going on around us. Tourists were running in every direction with touts attached to them. Nobody looked like they were having much fun.

Any how the Taj at sunrise was actually worth the 750 rs to get in. There were no people hustling and it made a world of difference. After the Taj it was on to Delhi were everything changed gears.
