Itimad-ud-Daulah, also known as the "Baby Taj".  This structure inspired the Taj Mahal.

Outside the house of a Servas host in Agra.  We are within walking distance of the Taj Majal.
We walk to the Taj the next morning.  Brian is particularly proud of this picture.



The Taj Majal was beautiful.  We marveled at the marble.



We took many, many pictures here.









We made sure to wake up early to visit the Taj at sunrise.


We dug deep into our pockets for the admission (about 19 US$ each!! while the locals
paid about 10 cents), shooed away the usual annoyances of locals hawking their wares, photography,
and tour guiding skills, and enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the Taj.



An example of bad photography, compliments of Susana. . . ;)



Both trying to wake up still. . . .


Below and behind the Taj, trash strewn swampy area where we saw locals walking.
