Day 9:
We departed the pink city at an early 2am, barely got any sleep but excited to see the Taj Mahal. The drive took 3 1/2 hours but was well worth it. We purchased our tickets for 750 rupees, went through security, and headed to see the Taj just before sunrise. It was completely worth the trip and words can't describe how beautiful this architectual masterpiece is, as it changed colors with the coming of day. Of course we took many many photos from a distance, but truly enjoyed the experience. When you get closer, the details are incredible... individual stones cut into ornate flowers line the tomb from the outside on up to the 4 spires. I led the girls in an informal yoga session on the top of the Taj Mahal, focusing on the sun salutation as the sun rose in the distance. Afterwards, I layed down on the marble and just tried to take in the whole experience, examining the details of the building and reflecting on everything that brought me to this destination...
that sounds amazing!
