TAJ MAHAL AND THE RED FORT

Today we woke up and ate toast and eggs, (which was much much MUCH better than that tofu sandwich on the plane). Then we got ready to go to the Taj Mahal! Our driver picked us up around 9, and drove us there along with a tour guide. It was AMAZING. And amazing is even saying the least of it. It was so much more detailed then I had ever seen in pictures. I could imagine why though, because I couldn’t even capture it on camera. It was absolutely gorgeous. While we were there, we actually had a lot of popularity! It was just like China again. People would ask to take selfies with us, and then other families would come in and take pictures, until we were taking a selfie with people from three different families. Even then, while we were taking that big selfie, other random people would come take pictures of that one big selfie! It was crazy. When we were taking family photos people would be taking pictures of us, like they knew us. Some people were “sneaky” and snuck a picture of us in a selfie that they were taking. I could DEFINITELY get used to this. Who wants to move to India with me?

Afterwards, we headed to the red fort. It was really cool. We saw views of the Taj Mahal, and got to look around at the red brick and marble fort. Honestly, I wasn’t fully engaged though, because it was 12am in Colerado. I HATE JET LAG. Technically, I stayed up all night for the past two days. If I wasn’t tired at all, I would think something was wrong with me...

Now it’s time for the good blogging part. LUNCH. Oh how I love lunch. Today’s lunch was especially good!!! It was really expensive though. Our driver keeps taking us to expensive places, but it’s kinda hard to say no, especially when he has really bad English. THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME! They had a fountain, and a big buffe. Surrounding us was a basically a big wall of leaves and flowers. Tara got non bread. I got egg noodles. Dad had Chicken Tika Makini. And mom had... well... u know... the usual. Nothing. She was feeling bad from the rice she had the other day. And she says her teeth were throbbing? I don’t know, don’t ask. So anyway, it was really good! Despite the hundreds of flies swarming our table, I would give that place five stars! Sadly, the rest of today’s journey was in the car driving for 5 and 1/2 hours. I will forever be emotionaly scarred from that long car ride. Close to the end of it, I touched my hand to my other hand and lifted it up. I thought there was a body in the car! But nope. Just my hand. My brain isn’t working anymore. Or has it ever worked?

Now we are in the hotel (which is actually decently nice for once! They actually have a shower curtain!) and we are about to go eat dinner. DINNER. THE ONE THING THAT IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS LUNCH. ALMOST. Welp. Bye friends!!!
