Two weeks Left

I've finally been able to witness some of India that I wanted to.  I got to see the Taj Mahal and Delhi.  Let me tell you the Taj Mahal is worth seeing.  If you ever want to travel to India make sure you see the Taj.  It is such a huge building made entirely out of hard marble, but what is even more crazy is that it is surrounded by magnificent buildings and walls that are forgotten and looked over because the Taj is so huge and stunning.  The architects were so good that they made the entire tomb (the Taj Mahal is a tomb) and the buildings surrounding it an exact mirror image of each other.  The Taj was made because a king wanted a beautiful place for his wife who gave him sons to lay to rest forever.  He was going to make a black Taj for himself, but he was arrested before he could start the project.  Amazing.  Purely amazing.

The next weekend which was this weekend I got to go to the country side where I saw the India that I was expecting to see all along.  The rural country where most of India lives.  Its true most of the trees in the part of India that I saw are missing.  There are large landscapes of short grass where trees should be.  We went to a resort of sorts and it was surrounded by a cove in a high hill.  I got to go up it at night and in the morning and I got to enjoy the surrounding country side in a breath taking view.  Just sitting on a ledge looking all round at random lights and the wind in my face with the shadows of far off mountains was amazing.  It was part of India that I was missing and now I feel more complete with my adventure out to India.
