Enlightened in Agra

5:30.  Awoke to cloudy skies to wait in line for tickets and entrance. As we waited the skies poured down unexpectedly. It had been such great weather for the past several weeks, the last thing on my mind was rain. Upon entering the grounds, the drops began to cease and the clouds parted.  Before us was the Taj Mahal gleaming majestically.  The white marble seemed to glow. The recent precipitation had an added effect as the droplets sparkled with the beams of the sun. Spectacular.
