After only an hour at the Taj Mahal, we stopped briefly at the Agra Fort and then toured the Itmad-ud-Daula which is also known as "Baby Taj" even though it preceded it. Baby Taj is the first tomb in India built entirely out of white marble and looks like a giant marble souvenir. It's covered in marble inlay and is gorgeous. At 9:00 AM, we were the only tourists at this site so, unlike the Taj it was quiet and peaceful.

The eternal drive back to Delhi was made even longer because of the rain. When it rains in Delhi, the streets flood and traffic is even crazier. One man on a bike tried to ride around a massive puddle/pond but had to dismount when the water was just too deep.
