Day 81:

I visited the Taj Mahal today! It carries a steep twelve buck admission charge, though I suppose it's worth it in a Great Wall/Forbidden City sort of way. Who visits India without taking a peek at the Taj, right?

This massive monument is a visual treat, though that's about all it is; there isn't really any interior access allowed. There are some nicely manicured lawns around the building, and some smaller mosques along the periphery of the thing.

I mailed a package today, as well as a few postcards.

I've decided to beat the heat by heading north, back into the mountains.

This morning I moved to a new hotel. My room resembles a solitary confinement cell from "Prison Break," but my bathroom is outside, on the roof of the building. Good times.

This afternoon I saw a cow kick a stray monkey right in the chest. The monkey, who had it coming, when flying into the air, but walked away on his own two feet.
