Delhi and the Taj Mahal

We joined a photographers wild animal safari in Delhi, India, so flew to India four days early
to see some of Delhi, and of course who can visit India without seeing the Taj? The traffic in Delhi was incredible, you've never been in a traffic jam until Delhi in the rush hour! We flew from Tucson to Phoenix, to LAX to London Heathrow then to Delhi. About 45-7 travel hours and three days to recover. Took 47 hours door to door on the way home, and I don't sleep on planes, so we were both shattered by the time we got home. I waited 60 years to see the Taj, and was NOT disappointed! Magnificent. We took a rickshaw ride in Old Delhi, the wrong way down the busiest road in the city. Interesting ride!
