Feel it HOT, HOT, HOT! Our Agran song.It is really hot, blisteringly hot, with the mercury climbing to 48! I didn't know it could get that high. It really feels like we are in the Orient- the camels are a nice touch and that magnificent marble monument looms on the skyline- we hit it at dawn the next morning, hoping to miss the crowds and the heat.
The story goes that the Taj was constructed by a grieving husband after his wife passed away giving birth to their 14 child. The marble construction is a spectacular display of love, but 14 children- really! No wonder she passed on.
Seriously though, the Taj Mahal is an architectural wonder. I'm not really into architecture, but this is seriously impressive. Walls 
are engraved with precious stones and magnificent calligraphy, and the marble is brilliantly white- so much so that it almost glows in the morning light.
