We had our first really really hot day today ( as opposed to just the hot days we've had so far). It was 112 degrees out there when we went out to see the Red Fort of Agra!
The fort is a huge, impressive set of palaces behind an amazingly thick and high stone wall with a moat. The architecture is gorgeous, with fantastic arches and fountains and courtyards filled with flowers or pools. There are inlaid precious stones in beautiful patterns on the walls. Every surface seems to carved or painted or patterned in some amazing way. It is really quite a place. and of course, from high up on the walls of the Fort, there's a wonderful view of the Taj Mahal!
The forecast calls for another really hot day tomorrow, so it's probably a good thing we are going out for the sunrise at the Taj Mahal so early in the morning...
