Agra--Taj Mahal







On Monday morning, we woke up at about 5am although we didn't end up leaving the house until about 6:45am (we were supposed to leave at about 5:45) to go to Agra to see the famous Taj Mahal...The same driver ended up taking us there...It took us about 3 hours to get to Agra and about 4 hours to get back...In first world countries it shouldn't have taken that long but since the roads aren't the best in India, it took a bit longer...The Taj Mahal is an amazing building that attracts tourists year round...We ended up taking a camel carriage back to the parking lot after seeing the Taj Mahal...A little boy jumped on as we were trotting along and when we got back to the parking lot, I asked them if someone could take a picture of us, and they told me to hop on the camel for the little boy to take a picture of me...After we were finished with the Taj Mahal, the driver took us to see some other attractions about 40km from Agra...It has been great to see various different parts of India as they are all different and interesting!!!
