Ok, this place was pretty awesome. We were all a little awe struck to see it in real life. The Taj is beautiful. It was 105 degrees and we hung out for a couple hours.Historical aside: the Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal emperor Jahan for his favorite wife. While this is a lovely form of flattery, it is kind of mean to his other wives. Also, the thing is huge and there was clearly enough space to throw another wife in there too and make her feel special.

We also went to the Agra Fort (Lal Qila)... though, we were getting a little overheated and didn't spend a lot of time there. It was amazing architecture and lush and petty...and there were

monkeys. It was originally the home of a bunch of big Mughal guys... it looks like a city within walls. That said, it was mostly under renovation so we didnt get to see that much of the area. That's all for now-- Jaipur tomorrow!

Wow, I totally made a box fort that looks just like that. But it was only half the size. And there were no monkeys. Which.. is actually kind of sad now that I think about it.
Glad you're all having fun. Even though none of you know me, save one. Which makes that one the coolest.
