The drive to Agra is long. From the clock I could tell that, but I fell asleep before we even made it out of Delhi! Once I woke up, we had an interesting drive. Here are some of the highlights:
- Our guide pointed out "buffalo." I know I'm a city girl, but I know what a buffalo looks like and this creature was surely not buffalo. I came to the conclusion that it was water buffalo- some animal Brian said he had seen on the Discovery Channel that the lions eat. It was ugly!
- When he saw we were a little confusred about the buffalo, our driver Vijay asked us if we drink buffalo milk. Uh...no.
- Vijay also asked us if our marriage was arranged. Brian's repsonse: "No, I chose her." Thanks! :)
- The country autorickshaws have an extra bench which translates into at least 10 more seats! We saw some autorickshaws with at least 20, probably 25 people on them. Most of the time, you can't even tell who is driving!
- Our driver had to pay for a permit to cross the state line and left us in the car and said don't open the window. We had heard about the monkey at the state line, and he was there and did some tricks for us. Brian opened the window to give him a tip, which the monkey attendant did not think was adequete and made Brian give him the rest of his coins!
