The plains of Tamil Nadu



Rice fields with the mountains in the background.



This picture was from the trip back to the airport - the girls I traveled with were playing with a "pet" monkey at the rest stop "Sapeeti's". They are still "kinda" cute when little, but as I say "If you've actually lived with monkeys... you don't think they're cute any more!!"


India - Tamil Nadu - Madurai

I was sitting in the back of a taxi en route from Madurai Airport, up to Kodaikanal, and started taking pictures... it was a 5 hr drive across the plains and then along the winding uphill ghat road. It was a Saturday in "high season" and I'd never seen so much traffic on the ghat... but thankfully they'd re-done much of the road since I left four years ago so it was better than it might have been:)!
