Sorry for the lapse in posts, but we've been quite busy here in India. I'll try to give a quick recap:
Yesterday (our last day in Chennai area before Thanjavur) we ventured more than an hour south of Chennai to visit the village of Mahabalipuram, which houses groups of monuments that are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although it was a long drive, it was totally worth it, as the community has about 16 sites with temples and monuments made of rock.

| We started out the morning with a surprise gift from Ravi -- coconuts, which apparently have perfect isotonic properties to keep you hydrated! |
 |
| Fisherman outside of the Shore Temple in Mahabalipuram. |

| Crazy giant rock balancing on other rock formation. Walking up the stone to check out the balancing rock took a lot more effort than it looks! Little kids actually created a little track on the rock hill to slide down. |
