Ashish is my brother in India

Ashish picked me up at the airpoprt and dropped me at the Hotel Grand in New Delhi. The next morning
when I could hardley even open my eyes we were in his car heading for Agra. But first he showed me
all the sights in Dehli. He tought me how to say "We're goin in car to Agra" in the hindi language. and I traveled to the Taj.

When we got to the Taj Mahal we took lots of pictures, but you can check oy the
slide show link at the top of this page and you'd see lost and lots of pictures.

Banja my Indian nephew thought Elaphants would help us get by the crowd

I bought a pair of sandles for my wife at this shop outside the Taj

Then we rode the Elephants everywhere

The Golden Tower above the Taj Mahal is 100% brass

Why do you think the golden tower is made of brass?
The golden tower atop the Taj Mahal was made of solid gold.
Then in 1803 England invaded India. The British spent over a month sculpturing a peice of brass in the exect shape of the golden tower.
Then on a dark night British soldiers came to the Taj mahal like theives in the night! They stole the golden tower and replaced it with
the brass tower they created.Since 1947 when India won its Independance from England they have waited for England to return the Taj gold.

I think it is time for England to return the gold! What do you think?
