Taj Mahal- Wednesday

Today was another fun-filled day! Today we went to the Taj Mahal in Agra. We picked up the grace home girls in the morning and then drove 4 hours to get to the Taj. Walking out of the bus and into the entrance was crazy. Camels decorated with colorful ropes and bells pulled carts to and from the entrance. When we finally got through security, we were amazed by the sheer beauty of the tomb. The Taj Mahal is smaller than we expected it to be, but just as amazing. We were given little booties to put on our shoes (very stylish of course) and made sure to take plenty of photos! Inside the 

Taj, it was a lot colder, and very cramped with people swarming to see the tomb. When we walked back outside, we were met with tons of people rushing to try and take pictures of us, which was a very strange experience. Leaving the Taj Mahal, we stopped at the market where the grace home girls helped us barter for little trinkets and bracelets. Everyone was pretty sleepy on the ride back until a spontaneous dance party broke out (featuring songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody), then we finally returned to the infamous Lemon Tree Hotel. After a dinner at the bazaar, we're all tired but ready for another day of teaching.
