An Indian Fixer-Upper

A wise man (OK, our guide Amir) once said, “There are two groups of people- those that have visited the Taj Mahal, and those that have not.”

Sunrise at the Taj is all it’s cracked up to be.  Something about the white marble is so clean, pure and symmetrical amongst the chaos that surrounds its gates. How can you NOT fall for a memorial to love? Built by emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 as a memorial to his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal, the site is actually the mausoleum for the lovers and features intricate inlayed stone work, jeweled ceilings and pristine gardens and pools.

How is Jeff going to top this?
