Yesterday we left Kerala and went to New Delhi on an airplane. Today we woke up at 4:00 am in order to avoid the big crowds and traffic. First we went to Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, a Hindu god. The building has existed for 5,500 years. Then we drove to the Taj Mahal. As you all probably know, the Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world. Now we know why. It’s huge! Made mostly out of white marble and a kind of stone that glows when light is shown upon it. It is truly a wonder among man-made creations. To this it is, and was only meant to be, a tomb for a queen. It took 22 years to build.
Wow! those pictures are amazing. Mimi thought Rowena might be back in class today, but look, she's at the Taj Mahal! We're learning a lot. Great blog. Mimi and Janelle
