Evan: Today I went to the Taj Mahal! It was really amazing and cool. Some people thought that I am more interesting than the Taj Mahal because people were looking at me instead of the Taj Mahal and taking pictures of me! The Taj Mahal it has water right below it for its reflection. It’s a tomb for the emperor and his wife. I’m about the size of an M&M to the Taj Mahal. On the way back a person that drove a bicycle rickshaw and other people were chasing us down the road to try to get money. A bicycle rickshaw is a bicycle that pulls a bench that pulls humans, and sometimes it carries cargo. The end.
Andrew: Today we went to the Taj Mahal. It was so amazing that when I first saw it, all I could say was “WOW.” It was sooooo cool. It was humungus and I was the size of a peanut M&M bit in half compared to it. My parents were the size of whole peanut M&Ms compared to it. Random fact of the day: the emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his beloved wife, and was going to build an identical one in black across the river from the Taj Mahal to be his own final resting place, but this never happened because his son got tired of waiting for the throne and imprisoned him and murdered him.
Our train to Agra got postponed two hours. It was fine, though. It’s just that time seemed to move like a snail. The train ride was very interesting. I saw tons of cool animals like water buffaloes, cows, goats, and hogs. It saddened me to see how many poor people lived along the railroad tracks. Some families lived in shacks the size of a small car.
Today I had the best meal so far. It was lentils with naan.
