The Taj Mahal

The trip from Varanasi was nice, just an overnight train, but i was able to meet some new friend! Upon arriving in Agra we chilled out at the hotel for most of the day because its so freakin hot here! Nothing too special to do in Agra aside from the taj, which was breath taking, so it was worth the 750Rs it cost to get in. There is also an emptied out spot on the opposite side of the river where the Raj was going to build another Taj Mahal (I named it the Laham Jat) for his tomb, but he was locked away before he could really get it started cuz it would have cost too much...anyways i was reading alice in wonderland while i was sitting in its presence, always a wonderful way to read. Me and the 2 guys i met went dow to the taj for sunset and chilled out there for most of the later afternoon/early night.
I'm so happy i finished Shataram while i was in Varanasi, that book took me AGES!!!!! I had been on a large book reading spree as of late, I started with Pillars of the Earth by Kem Follet, which was about 1000pgs, then i read The Tailsman, by Stephen King and Peter Straub, which was over 900pgs, then i read Shantaram which was just over 900pgs as well. So it was nice to read some short books now! Ive already finished The Alchemist, which only took me about 24hrs, and now im already over half way done Alice in Wonderland which i only started this morning! WOO PowerReading! Anyways, next is Frankenstein, so Im hoping I can finish that before my flight on Tuesday early AM. Off to Vrindavan tomorrow then onto Delhi for home!
