Hello from Agra! The title was given to us by our taxi driver this afternoon.
Here are some random observations/experiences from from Leh in the Himalayas.
*Magnetic Hill: a white box painted in the middle of the road tempting tourists to try to test an optical illusion. We wouldn't be surprised if we show up on YouTube or Candid Camera someday since it was so foolish.
*Noctural dog fights: Lauren tried very hard to wake the dogs who just slept all day so they could fight in packs with each other all night.
*Really cute nephew of guesthouse owner. He was only one year but was much bigger than Olivia already!
*Best KitKats discovered.
*Lauren observes that flies in our room have more energy in the morning and when exposed to direct sun.
*Monastary chants heard daily at 3am.
*Best cheese and tomato toast found, as recommended by Raj our waiter. Resembles grilled cheese.
*Power surges are normal. I doesn't matter what city or quality of hotel, the power will go our about every 2 hours for a sec.
*Extremely entertaining road signs. Examples include: "I'm curvaceous, so go slow","I like you but you're going too fast", "If you are married, divorce speed","Be Mr. Late, nor Late Mr."
*American style sour cream and onion chips are really spoiled cream and onion.
*Two thumbs down for Altitude Sickness.
*Himalayas on a whole are amazing, desolate, peaceful and awe inspiring.
*Pashminas are made from goats, Angora is from rabbits. Pashmina goat seen.
*Guesthouse owner in Leh laughs at everything Cindy says as if she's naive.
Observations from Agra:
*One should gratefully choose to decline the free puppet show offered by the hotel.
