Comon! You know I can't go to India without showing you guys the Taj Mahal. So right now I'm in Agra and staying at the Amarvilla. It's a hotel which sits 1km from the Taj Mahal. Every room (all 102) face the monument. We went today around 4 in the afternoon as they don't let folks in past 5pm. It draws roughly 15,000 visitors / day. It was visioned by Shah Jahan who had it built in honor of his fourth wife who he loved dearly, Mumtaz Mahal. She passed around the age of 38 after bearing 14 children and he loved her so much that he hired about 20,000 workers who spent over 21 years building what it today known as one of the seven wonders. It was completed in 1653 and its craftmanship and care make it look like it was built just yesterday. Today, Mumtaz and Shah's tomb both reside in the structure. What a site!
