Cherry on Top

After arriving at the hotel...aka..Heaven on Earth...we were greeted with cool, jasmine scented towels and watermelon juice. Ok, I WILL live! If only to get into the delicious pool for a moment and get into bed, which I did after having some consomme. Lily enjoyed a hamburger! via room service and so off we went to sleep. Our wake up call came at 5 am for a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. Before we left the hotel in a terry cloth padded golf cart driven by a uniformed guard, I had my first REAL cup of coffee since NJ...perfection! Although I still do not feel 100%, I am much better thanks to all of the good energy you are all sending our way.

The Taj was a moving experience...I just thought to myself..wow, this was definately all worth it...for nothing else..this was it..the cherry on top..as I have named the blog today. It was magnificent, magical, monumental and captivating. The pictures do not do it justice. I am grateful that we got this chance to see it.

When we got back to the hotel (heaven) we spent the morning luxuriating over breakfast of eggs, french toast, hot chocolates, croissants and fresh fruit. I am glad I felt well enough to eat! The rest of the morning and part of the afternoon was spent at the pool sipping grape transfusions and iced tea. Lucky. Grateful. Happy. Rested.

Showered and packed, we are heading down to the lobby now to meet our driver to take us to the Delhi airport. JFK or bust, baby!!! Thank you for following! Thank you for the prayers! I will post our safe arrival home. Goodbye, India!! Hello, USA!
