Agra - Taj Mahal

Erin and I have talked a lot while we have traveled about how we travel. We aren't really the type to go and see every site along our way. We are much more into getting the feel for the area, as opposed to what we call "marathon site seeing". I'll try to write more about it later - the point is, you can't go half way across the world and not see the Taj Mahal.

We got there just after dawn and the sun was shining off of the domed roof top. There weren't too many people, so it was nice to just wander the grounds and see the beauty.

If you are not aware, the Taj is a tomb (mausoleum actually), which was built in memory of Shah Jahan's favorite wife. It has been called many things, but my personal favorite is "a teardrop on the cheek of eternity". The pictures don't do it justice.
