The afternoon safari didn't produce a tiger, but got to enjoy some wonderful wildlife.
Here are a pair of jackets, which the guide says is a fairly rare sighting.

I sadly left my Indian palace hotel. Even though it was a bit over the top, it was wonderful.
The road from Ranthambhore to Agra was a long one, but tons to see along the way.
Before we got to Agra, we stopped at a palace called Fatehpur Sikri that was built to honor famous Sufi. The Mughal who built it tried to blend Hindu and Islamic styles of architecture, which I have seen a lot. It was built in the 1500s, all of pink sandstone.
This mogul was said to be very tolerant of all religions. Not sure if they knew what they were putting up with this decoration. :-)
Arrived in Agra and this is the first western hotel I've stayed in the whole trip. It's a very nice Doubletree with a view of the Taj, but it feels a bit sterile. I guess this will get me ready for my return to the US late tomorrow evening.
