We made it to the Taj!!!

First off, you won't read this now since we are in the car. Secondly we made it to the Taj Mahal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We arrived in Agra yesterday and 20 minutes in we saw the Taj. There's nothing like the feeling of seeing something like that. It's like a rush of excitement runs through your body. An amazing feeling. Sure in of you could see the Taj from our hotel so we walked 3/4 of the way there. It was like we're we're walking dollars. We went back to the hotel and watched the sun disappear.
We ate supper and then went to bed.

We woke up and got ready to go to the Taj Mahal. We left at 6:30 in the morning. The sun was already up and shining down heat. We got our ticket 750 ruppes for adult foreigners and 20 ruppes for adult Indians. Ugh... Kids are free though so that's nice. When went out we were surrounded by bicycle rickshaws and a horse buggy. We wanted to ride in he horse buggy so daddy asked how much it would be. He says 10$. We said no and told him only 100 rupees. He finally agreed and we rode a horse buggy to the Taj Mahal. We picked up a guide on the way. You can't really explain how big, complex, and just how amazing it is. But it's really cool. If you didn't know the guy who built it his son locked him away after he started a second Taj Mahal which was to be black. Today you can still the beginning of the structure, which is pretty cool!!!

It was awesome.
