On Wednesday morning we sadly departed from Jaipur, leaving our gracious hosts behind. We had been so warmly recieved and just settled in our new homes when it was time to hit the road again to see the 4th wonder of the world. After a scenic six hour bus ride, we arrived in Agra and didn't wait to unpack the bags before heading out to the Taj Mahal. We arrived about an hour before sundown, which is the best time to take photos of it. It is everything that it is cracked up to be. Truly an emotional experience and one that will not soon be forgotten. That night we stayed at the house of a Rotarian who actually recieves all Rotarian guests to Agra and were treated like kings (and a queen). We spent Thursday site-seeing and left for Gwalior, the music city, in the mid afternoon arriving around 6pm. Being in a new city, we were welcomed by 8 local clubs at dinner and having sung the Star Spangled Banner, danced and ate the night away. Tomorrow is a big day of site-seeing and visiting local Rotary Clubs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As has been the case in the past two stops, no one will go hungry tomorrow :) . Best.

Hey Nick! It sounds like you all are having a great time, and i think that's fantastic! I imagine you should be prepared to share lots of stories upon returning home as I am sure many of your friends and family will want to hear them. I will continue to pray for a safe and happy trip. Okay?
