Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

The incredible beauty of the Taj Mahal stands in stark contrast to the poverty that surrounds it in Agra and nearby areas. I couldn't shake the images from my mind that I had seen on the train ride from Delhi to Agra, nor the fear that seemed to grip me almost the entire trip. The Taj Mahal was beautiful and elegant, an incredible tribute, but it would forever be tainted by my impressions.
