Things we saw on the way to Agra

We took an Indian road trip - from Delhi to Agra! The following pictures were all taken from inside our car as Vinod took us on the 5-hour drive.


The obligatory "cows crossing the road" picture. This happens all the FRIGGIN time.


All week we've been seeing these guys - walking by the side of the road, dressed in orange, carrying colorful frilly contraptions. They are pilgrims carrying holy water from the Ganges River in Haridwar, returning to their home towns and villages. They need to arrive back at home in time for the Kanwar Yatra festival. I bet that's good exercise.


These guys are preparing an elephant to be ridden.


Crossing the state line. Yes, India has "states" just like the USA - though we didn't see any signs for an "Uttar Pradesh Welcome Center."
