We landed in Delhi after a 3 hour plane ride and went straight to Old Delhi and New Delhi where we rode rickshaws and went to the spice market. This was quite the experience and it was one of my favorite parts of my trip.
Whenever I think of a famous structure I always picture them in my mind, usually based on pictures/movies that I've seen. When I got to the Taj Mahal it BLEW MY MIND. I was literally hit with awesomeness looking at it. Its jaw dropping huge and just out in the middle of India.
“There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won’t go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beautiful and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds…I had been seeing the world in black and white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant Technicolor.”

My last day at Rising Star was a rough one. I never thought I'd become so attached to kids I had only known for a couple of weeks. Saying goodbye to them was a lot more difficult than I had anticipated but they will all hold a special place in my heart. I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to be apart of a program like this and I can't wait to write my favorite girls some letters!
