November 24, 2014. On the road again to northern India!

Our driver picked us up in Khajuraho and we headed toward Agra, home of the Taj Mahal.  We stopped for lunch at an old palace that has been converted to a restaurant and hotel.  It is a beautiful building.

We had a light lunch with 2  vegetable dishes.  A very "posh" lunch for less than $5.  We strolled around the palace, located on a small lake.  This woman was washing lentils in a basket....

These ladies were washing their clothes in the lake while their children splashed in the water.

We drove about 4 hours, stopping in a historic town called Orchha.  The temples were built in the 1600s.

From there, we drove to Jhansi, where we picked up the train for Agra.
