Impressions of Agra, India

Camels pulling carts…cows walking in the street…dogs lying in the streets – people afraid of them - so many are rabid…early morning drive through the town, see bedding out on the sidewalks – too hot indoors…beautiful saris on the women …attractive men and women…our hotel - every room with a view of the Taj… out on the terrace before dawn and at night - listen to the sounds of Agra…always a call to prayer to the west…music playing to the north…a cacaphony of birds…warm in the dark…will be 100 degrees during the day…always the Taj – can’t get enough of it… sparkling white marble…red mosque to the west…guest house to the east…wonderful Indian food…waiter carries nan, warm from the Tandoori oven

So it is warm there! We, too, had unseasonably warm weather today and got a lot done in the garden. Now Hugh and I are like zombies!! E-gads! This may be the last garden in us, especially when doing it at a warmer temp.! Keep up the wonderful commentary!
