goodbye Krishna Palace hello Taj

We were sad to leave our guest house. Krishna palace was great. Big rooms, a friendly family running the place, and a nice calm location. We could have easily stayed longer. The train ride to Agra went nice and smooth. Our hotel in Agra is on the pricey side because we insisted on AC. We also ended up with a view of the Taj from our room which is still blowing my mind. Today is the anniversary of the death of Shaw Jahan so we got into the Taj for free. We got up at 5am so we could beat the crowds and watch the sun come up. Unlike the rest of the monuments we have been to so far, the Taj is in perfect condition. It does not look real as you start to approach it. Even when you are inside there is still a feeling of disbelief. I think the Taj was worth the trip all by its self.
