Was able to take about 4 hours and do a little sightseeing today. Started by seeing Humayun Tomb. Another palace like resting place for royalty. This was built before the Taj Mahal; but, you can see the similar architectural features.

Then stopped by to see India Gate which is a memorial to fallen soldiers.

Straight down the road from the India Gate is the Presidential palace. You're not allowed in; but, was able to get a couple of pictures.

Drove by the Old Fort and old British Market.

Closed the day by seeing the Aksahardum Temple; but, you are not allowed to take your camera in.

Saturday - Feb 3

The guys from TCS took us to see the Taj Mahal in Agra. Was a long day but well worth it. We left the hotel at 6am and returned around 7:30pm. The Taj truly is a beautiful place built by the Shah Jahn in the early 1600's. 22 years and 20000 laborers to build the palace and resting place for the dearest of his wives who provided him 14 children before dying at the age of 39.
