Taj Mahal

We started the day at 5:00 am. It was drizzling and there was some discussion about whether or not we should go or wait until later.  We all thought we should just go for it because who knows if it will get better or worse later.  We had to transfer from our touring bus to a clean energy bus about two or three blocks away because they didn’t want the pollution harming the Taj worse than it already has.  

The beauty of the Taj is in its purpose, a tribute to the king's wife when she died, and the symmetry of the building. Amazing. 

There are two gates at either end of the Taj and then this one leads into the grounds itself. It is flanked by two entry gates on either end. Through this entrance is the Taj. 

Of course the most famous picture of the Taj is where you capture the reflection of the monument in the pools in front. Not bad for an I-phone... I will get more pics up later. We have playtime with the kids!
