August 20th

We went to the Taj Mahal today. Nothing I have ever seen is as exquisite as this building is. It has so much detail, and words cant even begin to express how amazing it is. The Taj Mahal was built as a tomb for the emperor's third wife, and his son imprisoned him across the river from it in the Agra Fort, which is almost as beautiful as the Taj Mahal. At Agra Fort there are a ton of monkeys, and they are very entertaining. After this we went shopping in Agra, and stopped off at this restaurant called Havemore, which is so delicious. They have this bread fish soup stuff that you eat with nan that is so good. Outside of the restaurant was a snake charmer, and he let me hold his cobra while he played his flute thing. It was exhilarating. The cobra had no teeth, but having a cobra stare straight into your eyes is not a happy experience. Nonetheless it was definitely worth the fear.
