Taj Love

---

Mmmm. After having to rewire Guillaumes brain to make him realize that he needed to go, we DID in fact make it to Agra. Home to the beloved Taj Mahal.
I was mostly sick during our time there, unfortunately. But from what I heard, from my trustworthy travel companions, aside from the street food it ain't so glorious.
The Taj Mahal, on the other hand, is a completely different story. My whole life I have seen photographs and randoms bits and bites about the Taj, I have always wanted to see it.
And as soon as we decided to come to India, the day dreams of visiting the Taj began.
It's something that you have seen images of SO many times in your life. And I was hoping and praying that it would be just as spectacular as I thought it would and could be.
But it wasn't.
It was SO MUCH BETTER!
Words cannot describe it's beauty.
The greatest monument to love ever created and the love that built it echoes off of every last square inch of the cool, glimmering white marble.
It was overwhelming and so wonderful.
We walked in through the giant entry gate and did as every tourist does; gasp out loud and grab for his/her camera as quickly as possible (as if the Taj were going somewhere) so that they can capture their loved ones striking a pose in front of the wonderous structure.
We wandered around and even in the Taj and finally just found a spot to sit silently and watch from a distance.
The place was swarming with tourists, the most commonly seen type of tourists in India; Indian tourists. And with that comes the never ending demand of asking us to pose with their families for a photograph or two (or ten). And of course, we never hesitate to ask the same in return.
