South Asia

After East Asia because I really didn't want to go home. First I went to the Taj Mahal in north central India. Shah Jahn built this masterpiece in memory his Persian princess wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during her 14th childbirth. This masterpiece is actually a tomb for his wife, which is surrounded by a 980 sq. ft. garden filled with beautiful flowers and fruit trees. This is considered one of the new seven wonders of the world.



Next I went to Nepal to climb the tallest mountain in the world. Mt. Everest is 29,029ft at its summit.which is approximately 27,877ft above my current elevation. This climb absolutely sucked. Well I mean it was cool and all but it was the most difficult thing I've ever done. It also didn't go over to well when I saw one of the well over 200 bodies that have never been recovered from the mountain. It was all worth it though when i reached the top.
