Day 127 – Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India

This town has some world heritage monuments that I saw today. First was the Shore temple. Later I visited the Five Rathas temple. Both over one thousand years old. Maybe not quite as impressive as some of the other places I’ve been, but I think people come here because it is a quiet, relaxing place.

Every day that goes by, I am surprised I am not sick yet. This is a country where toilet paper and silverware is not used. It is a place where garbage is swept up along the road and burned there, a place where I can’t see any emission standards on vehicles. Maybe it is simply because I’ve been staying away from other people.
