Merry Christmas. Today we got to Agra at about 3 and headed to the Taj Mahal shortly afterwards. The Taj is one of those places that I’ve always wanted to see and something that I felt that I “must” see before I die. I don’t really know if I can explain how absolutely awesome it is either. If you think it looks great in books or magazines, you would be happy to know that it looks even better in real life.

As I was making my way around taking photos I ran into an old guy that waved at me and signaled for me to stand at a particular spot that he was pointing to. So I went to the spot. He then pointed at the taj and told me to take a picture. The whole thing sounds very much like the old guy at Angor Wat. The thing is, is that they usually know the best spots, and this guy did show me some great locations for photos. I wandered around the Taj for about 3 hours and finally headed out with the rest of the group for a warm coffee.

We ended the night having dinner in a rooftop terrace and playing some Christmas games… you know, musical chairs, charades. By that time it was so cold out we were pretty much freezing.
