I might do that.  I just need a place to post the Raw!

They were both pretty much overwhelming.  Machu Picchu is so much 
larger than just the site you see in most photos and the surrounding 
mountains are spectacular on their own.  What was most overwhelming 
about the Taj Mahal when I was there was the air pollution.  I'm 
afraid it's not going to be around too many more years because the 
acid in the air is eating away the marble.  I hate to see something 
that beautiful destroyed by what we're putting in the air.

Thanks for looking!
