Back of the Taj

Erik and I visited the Taj Mahal on a hot August day, which happened to be the birthday of the guy who built is so we got in free, along with swarms of other people. The sun beating down and heating up the ground made walking (barefoot according to Taj rules) around the building less than pleasant. The best part about seeing the Taj Mahal is getting that post card view when you walk in the main gate, with all the tourists in front, giving you a true perspective on the scale of the monument (its huge).

After much anticipation and discussion, I am now able to repot that the back of the Taj Mahal looks exactly like the front. Each face of the building is the same, in fact. The back of the Sphinx is far more interesting (it has a tail, who knew).
