Were in Vaenassi. We had the worst train day yesterday. We had a train at 3 so we went early at 1. They told us that our train was cancled and to talk to the station manager. We did and he said it was just late and to talk to him in 2 hours. We we waited for 2 hours and talked to him. He said, sorry it is cancled. So we exchanged our tickets for unreserved tickets because we didnt know if seats were avalable. The tickets are basicly to get onto the train and then to bribe the conducter. 1 Train came at 7 but it was full. Another at 9 and it was full. Finally we got on one at 11. We arived in Varnassi at around 5 in the afternoon the next day. We were at the train station for 11 hours waiting. Not very fun. Were just going to roam around today. Ok, bye.

Hey. We have changed our mind about going to Nepal right now and were instead going to Varanasi first. We will go in to Nepal there and strait to pocara passing Kathmandu. In Pocara, we will take a 6 day trek to a hot spring. We leave to Varanasi tomorrow. I hope you guys enjoyed the photos. Bye

Hello, I finally am able to get lots of pictures up some were taken in Aeroville and in hampi and in Kalkata at mother terisa's grave. We took a steam engine train today. It was fun. There is one of a friend on the train ride to kolkata. The Big Gold ball is the Matrimandir in auroville. And then a picture of the royal palace in Mysore. There was a crazy lightning storm last night. I stoped countin bolts after 500. It went on for 4-5 hours. It was amazing. There would be bolts so close and bright that you couldnt see after. Ok ill post soon.

Hello. Im in Darjeeling. Ive been here for over a week now. Almost every day, we eat at a place called Sonam's Kitchen. She makes really good food. Yesterday morning, we got to see the 3rd tallest mountain in the world, Its called Kanchenjunga. By the way, in a past post, i said were in the south, were in the far north. Were heading into Nepal next. Anyway, the mountain was beautiful. Were still in india but most of the people are from Nepalese. Darjeeling is on top of a ridge about 17,000 feet high. I cant wait to be in Nepal. Ive read that there is so much to do. There is aparently amazing river rafting with class 1 to class 5. And there is also one of the highesr bungee jumping spots in the world. You drop around 1500 feet into a deep dark gorge. ~:-O I dont think ill be doing that. Ok, ill post picures as soon as i can. Ok bye.

Hello. Alot has happened since last I updated. So, After mamalaporum, we went to Aeroville for 2 days. It was fun. We stayed at a guest house called transformation house. They have a big pool and all of the rooms are circles. They have Peacocks roaming the yard. It was very peaceful. On the second day in Aeroville, it started to rain really hard. Most of the roads are dirt so it was hard to get around. After all that, we took a cab to Chennai and stayed for 1 day and then took a 26 hour train ride to Kolcata. We are now in the south. Its the 2nd biggest city in india. On saturday, were going to Darjeeling. It will be cold the closer we get to the Himalayas. Thats what were doing.

In Mamalaporum, we are working with stone carvers who make sculptures out of granite and marble. Were both making a pendant. Well, i finished mine yesterday. The first picture is of what we start with and next to the piece of marble is the one i made. It took the whole day. I designed it and made it. After you finish carving, you have to do 3-4 steps to polish it nice.The next picture is of were everyone works. And after that, it is a picture of a Ganesh with the 5 headed cobra above it. This would take around 45 days to make.

Hello to all. I am in Mamalaporum now. We took a train from Mysore to Chennai monday night and then took a bus from Chennai to here that same day. When we got here, we got a room at a familys house that my mom stayed at last time she was here. Then we went to a Napalese (Napal) resterant. Im not kidding when i say it is the best resterant i have ever been to. I had a Cheese and bean burrito which turned out to be a home made bread bowl with a veg chili. They make everything apon order, nothing is pre- perpared. Then we went to this orphanageThat my mom went to almost every day she was in Mamalaporum last. All of the kids are so sweet. We brought them cherry blow pops from the US and they loved them. We got eaten up by the mosquitos last night. Its very hot and humid here. I cant wait to get to the Himalayas. The beach here is also very nice. There are so many unique shells. Bye
