Taj Mahal

We float around the white and lacy tomb in the misty hours after dawn fascinated by its form, intricate Islamic inlay and vast dimensions. Our last dramatic drive back into Delhi confronts us with more lack of road rules and use of lanes, but as usual, the amazing and calm Manoj, our driver, gets us home safely. Everyone quickly dumps their bags for one last opportunity at the Delhi shop of Fabindia - as if our luggage wasn't over the limit anyway with the delights of Rajasthan. Farewells are not so bad as strong bonds between all the art adventurers will develop with virtual and real art and cooking get togethers back home.
