Hello Everyone!
We left Agra and arrived in Biwani, Hyana last night. Our time in Agra was wonderful. Seeing the Taj Mahal was such a beautiful experience. It felt so surreal to actually be standing in front of it in all it's glory. Oh yeah, we had a tour guide there that looked like a Bollywood actor who provided a lot of entertainment to our visit. That evening, we saw a play about the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, which inspired the building of the Taj Mahal. The costumes and dancing were so much fun! We visited Fatephur Sikri the next day,which are royal palaces of Akbar and his three wives. The most interesting aspect of these palaces was to see symbols of Islam, Christianity,Judaism, and Hinduism included in intricate architecture. We had about a 8-9 hour drive to our destination, and it was quite an experience to say the least! Once we reached Biwani, we were greeted by a crowd of rotarians. They had garland necklaces in hand,and blessed us with as they traditionally do with guests. We will start our official tour today. We are going to visit a glass factory, and also going to a service activity where we will teach local women how to sign their names, so they can use if for legal documents. In the evening, we will have visit our first club meeting, and give our presentations. We hope it goes smoothly:)
