A family portrait

So things are starting to pick up a lot now with race preparations so I think blogs with be fewer and les detailed from now on.

Thursday morning we took the train to Agra from Jaipur to see the Taj Mahal. First we went to Agra Fort, which was another Fort with a view. We are Forted out! We did have a fantastic time meeting the sweetest Indian family. It all satarted when their young son wanted a picture with me, he was so shy it was so cute. We took a pic with bim and then every member of his family then a big group shot. They were so cute! Little did we know this would be the theme at the Taj.

When we got to the Taj it was so surreal! It really is every bit as magnificent as you would imagine! I couldn't believe that I was actually there standing in front of the Taj Mahal!! We took WAY too many pictures, but we just couldn't stop. We were in SO many Indian family photos, it was crazy. They all wanted us in their pictures. They have professional photographers there you could but pics from and these familys were paying for family portraits with us in them! Wonder how many mantles we'll be on!?

After the Taj we got caught in the quickest, most intense thunderstorm and then headed back to Delhi by train for fly down to Cochin, where we are now.

We all LOVE south india!! More to come on that later!!
