This week on Zoey’s expedition, I am travelling to Agra, India, Asia. I was walking in the streets alone, watching the variety of shops selling many items. I stopped in front a bunch of bustling people and gazed up at the dark polluted air and mourned for my parents or friends to be with me. I soon wondered amelesly back to the motel. The motel was called Radhe innnear the Taj Mahal.

I was in my room reading a brochure that told me, in 1629, Arjumand Banu Baygam the wife of Shah Jahan. Shana Jahan is the 5th mogul emperor of India. Arjumand Banu Baygam died when giving birth to their 14th child. The monarch did not just lose his wife but also his intelligent political advisor. The emperor mourned his wife for two years and he vowed to build a tomb worthy of her. The result was the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahalalso is being protected by UNESCO and the federal government is funding it.

I walked up to the Taj Mahaland strolled through the luscious green gardens which are perfect for families with children. I glanced at the first floor of the Taj Mahal and it was bustling with people. I love the old like marble that the Taj Mahal is built with. This texture is perfect for artist that loves to paint buildings. I urge you tocome to Agraand see the green grass, trees and the vibrant flower colours.
