The Money Shot AKA the Taj Mahal


Okay, so seeing the sunrise over the Taj Mahal didn't quite work out. At 6:00 this morning, I was up, showered, dressed and ready to go. Neither Jason nor I, bothered to look out the window, so much to our surprise when we exited the lobby of the hotel -- there was rain. Monsoon rain. Flooded streets, water higher than the staff's wellies. It was a mess. Brave enough, only here for one day and determined to see this Wonder of World, we braved the water and headed out.

It was so worth it. So the sun isn't beaming on the marble in many colours -- its still the Taj and its always stunning.

I like a little monsoon in the morning. Shiny (aka wet) is good look on me! Bonus? Its not hot today!!

More wetness. I am standing in front of the mosque on the side of the Taj. Jason or I could tell you so many interesting things about the Taj, but none are as interesting as a couple on their honeymoon visiting the greatest site of love on earth.

More on that inlaid marble. Its a skill. Absolutely stunning in every way.

Side shot. Still beautiful.
