Yesterday we got the chance to go to the Taj Mahal! In the morning we found out that a very large group of grace home kids were coming with us, and some of them had never seen the Taj before. We loaded up on the bus and started our 4 hour drive to the Taj. Along the way we got to see a very different side of India, the country side. Instead of towering apartment buildings and crowded streets, we saw green fields and farms. When we finally reached the Taj and walked up to see it, everyone on our team was amazed at its beauty and immensity. We took pictures on pictures and even got to go inside. We learned about the history of the Taj and the story of the king and his wife who are buried there. We learned about the intricate marble carvings that are used to decorate the Taj and the time consuming job it is to create these beautiful masterpieces. We then had the chance to see first hand how they make these marble carvings. After all of this we started our long drive home and ended the night with a delicious dinner at McDonald's.
