I'm in an awkward place in my head as I prepare to write; I don't know what you wanna hear about. Like, do you want the story of my day? Or my thoughts on the culture? Imma try to do both.
This morning I woke up accidentally 15 minutes before I was supposed to. AKA, 5 o'clock AM. I ate a protein bar and then we left for the Taj Mahal(which we could already see from our hotel window)! We even had a tour guide THANK GOD. Side Note: When I have a lot of unanswered questions my tummy gets really tight and I get anxious and rude. This morning I was beyond ecstatic to find out that we had a guide because I have been MISERABLE since arriving here because of my load of unanswered questions. But now I had a tour guide who I could use as my Wikipedia app. blahgh!
So we're at the Taj Mahal at sunrise (cuz daz how ya dooo it)and there were monkeys all around and camels. Little children wanted to shake my hand and teens wanted their pictures with me. Miley Cyrus status. So, here is a picture of me+Taj Mahal:
So, the Taj was beautiful and it took almost 22 years to build and it was build 400+ years ago it was built out of love and it was majestic and hand crafted and a work of art. It's one of the 7 wonders of the world. So that's that :-D. Daddy took ~894639 photographs of the place. I cut it down to about 1/3 of that and they will be on Facebook soon enough.
After the Taj we went to "The Red Fort". This was a very large place where the kings and queen and army lived. You can google that too, but pics will be up.
Then, our tour guide took us to various shops that had OBVIOUSLY paid him to do so. We bought things like tea and books. Doing this caused me to become exhausted. PERSISTENT SALES PEOPLE. I can't BARE. They all make me sit places and look at things and drink drinks and pay attention and answer questions and LOOK AT MORE THINGS. Even after we have paid a shop owner and are walking out of the shop's doors,,, he will ask us if we want to see ONE MORE thing. I can't deal with people asking me if I want things this much. Trust me, when I want something- I GET IT :-P. I don't want earrings. (Last night I wasn't hungry at the hotel restaurant. I was just chillin' with Dad. But Dad kept asking and asking if I wanted naan or juice. Then the waiter would ask me if I wanted naan or juice. I had to leave. So many questions. Omg, I forgot, I'm sorry, no more ranting.)

So now we are done with shopping and sightseeing in Agra! :-( ahh! Time to drive home. This time on the drive I took notes of things I thought of. That will come during my next blog entry after I nap. We have had busy days (lol, I've only been here for 2 days and done so much), busy bizy days.
You're all sleeping and I'm alone. bye. :-P
One more picture for yalllll!
That was our guide.
(I'm really just worried about ya'll seeing how cute I am in my Indian pants. The real photos of the actual India will be up on Facebook later so just calm down.)
