Subject: Our trip to the Taj Mahal (photos attached)

Dear Priya,

I hope you are well. Last Sunday my family and I visited the Taj Mahal in Agra. We left early in the morning and reached by nine. The white marble monument looked magnificent in the morning light, and the garden and the fountains were beautiful. A guide told us that the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built it in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. We spent almost three hours there and I took many photos.

I am attaching some of the best photos with this mail. I hope you like them, and I hope we can all go together next time.

Love,
Anika
