Seeing the Taj Mahal was completely unreal. Here’s an excerpt from my journal: First off, I practically SKIPPED into the entrance at the Taj, that’s how excited I was. We weren’t allowed any bags, so we locked them up at this hotel and made our way up the road to the entrance, and onto the skipping portion of our story. So, I was sprinting in, knocking children and the elderly over, and IT almost stopped me dead in my tracks. THE TAJ. I am at the Taj Mahal. THE TAJ MAHAL. one of the most recognizable and important buildings in history. I am really here. And i am totally going to touch it. And I totally did.
