 Taj Mahal. Quintessential India. 
This is a look back at the main entrance. It gives you an idea of how many people see the Taj Mahal every day. (Note: the time of day is mid-afternoon already)

Great Taj Mahal photo with Andrea, my good friend who lives in Halifax, Canada. She was visting me during my travels and came from Delhi to see the Taj.

My friend Andrea and I at the Taj Mahal. Unfortunately the brightness of the Taj in the distance made this photo too dark... I tried to lighten it with a photo editor, but it looks like I have one giant tooth now. :) I know some people might say it's bad to wear a sleeveless shirt to the Taj, however I figure this is the single most tourst-visted place in India, if you can do it anywhere in India (besides on the beach) it's here and they're used to it by now. :)

This man in white said, "please take a picture of me with my wives." He said it with such great authority that Andrea couldn't stop giggling about it. I suspect that he is Muslim.

Andrea and our guide (whose name I forget, unfortunately). Sorry dude. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly, however the belt on his pants was one notch too tight. :-)

What is redbeet?

This is my retro website, a homepage that dates back to the day when the Web was still coded with text editors, well-worn keyboards, elbow grease and Unix servers... the guts all neatly hidden from sight thanks to hyperlinks.
