The One Where We Visited The Most Beautiful Tomb in the World

Agra! The 5 hour drive to Agra went by a lot faster than I thought it would. We all had a lot of fun on the bus, and stopped at an awesome rest stop called “Maharaja Motel”. By the time we could see the “Welcome to Agra” signs I think we were all pretty much itching to get off the bus. The humidity was ridiculous and the sun was blinding, especially since we showed up around noon. For a few minutes, though, it didn’t even matter—we walked through the gate to the Taj Mahal and everything else pretty much melted away as we stood there and admired it. So much beauty! My favorite part of all these monuments we’ve seen is the intricacy of the designs that are put into them, it really highlights the labor and attention to detail that went into constructing them. After the Taj Mahal we went to Agra Fort, which was just as, if not more, amazing. The weather and lighting was better at this time, so the walk around the fort was really beautiful. I wish this day didn’t have to end, I would probably be perfectly fine setting up camp in Agra Fort :)
