My Grand parents came to visit so we went to the Taj Mahal. We took the train to Agra and payed to get in. This time we got a guide. The guide showed us all the history and "perfection" of the building. He also showed us that the Taj Mahal has a lot of optical illusions. It was really amazing seeing all the ways the Taj Mahal looked depending on where you looked at it. The guide said a king made the Taj Mahal for his third wife because she was his only wife that gave him kids, but one of his sons ended up locking the king away when he wanted to build a second "Taj Mahal". All sorts of different kinds of stones were sent from all over the world to build this thing. Some of the stones glow when a light is shown on it! After seeing the Taj we went to Pizza Hut and a coffee shop. Then we saw the Agra Fort and later got on the train and came back.
It was an interesting trip, but I'm glad to be home.
Really?!?
