Hampi
Hopefully this post will go through, as the Blogger dashboard has been somewhat less than reliable lately.
We're in the middle of our second day in the lovely town of Hampi. Judging by our activities over the last 36 hours, the town is home to approximately 14984934 temples and other historical sites of incredible value. There's so much here that it's hard to digest all at once.
We came here by overnight train from Bangalore. I'm happy to report that nobody had any bags stolen, nor was anyone harassed, despite some people worrying beforehand. The major difficulty of the trip seemed to be that the temperature in the upper bunks was somewhere around the level of "Arctic Circle." Still, I'm glad we got a chance to do this instead of taking planes and the bus everywhere.
Tomorrow we go to Badami, where apparently there are even MORE temples. It's enough to make a history major weep. Hopefully I'll be rested enough to appreciate them all. However, right now everyone is counting down to what's sure to be the highlight of the trip: Goa.
Oh yes, and happy Halloween to everyone. My costume this year is "awkward white tourist."
