The Taj Mhahal

We awoke, and had breakfast at our home stay
The family at the home stay is incredibly nice and friendly. While eating breakfast we hear a small commotion as if somethings gone wrong. The baboons, which run across the rooftops had broke a pipe and the water was leaking. After a rant about how the plumbers always happy this happens because monkeys are seen as God's in India, and he sees this as  blessing, one of the brothers, Usif, turns to us and says "Come now, we go shoot monkeys" before we know it we're standing on the rooftop of our hotel with an airgun shooting at baboons. It was an interesting morning.

After our war with monkeys we made our way to the Taj Mhahal. Pure marble, shipped from Rajasthan. Architects from the middle east. the Taj Mhahal is unlike anything iv seen in my life. Pictures don't serve it justice. It's a monument you need to see with your own eyes.

After the Taj we went to a carpet factory where they make carpets by hand, stitch by stitch. A good day in Agra. Lots to do.
