Aurangabad gone good
KT and I are in Aurangabad (India) now. We arrived in Mumbai yesterday from Delhi, and instead of taking the overnight AC train as we had hoped, we hopped onto an overnight bus, without AC -- and, as we found out at 2 in the morning, also without a working engine. We arrived in Aurangabad about 3 hours behind schedule, missing the scheduled 8AM tour bus to the Ellora Caves. Fortunately, we lucked upon one of the best auto-rickshaw drivers in the country who took us weaving through the hills and directly to the caves.

The Ellora Caves were incredible and well-deserving of their world heritage site status. I don't have time or fluids (we're in a non-AC internet cafe right now) to do it justice, but please check out the wikipedia article on the Ellora Caves and check out the photos we posted on my flicker gallery. Below is a small sample.

Below are two other pictures not from India. The first is from South Africa (thank you Diego; I hope you computer is doing better) and the second is from one of our pool rolling sessions during the kayaking course in Nepal. Shawn, thanks for the photo - I totally covet your awesome waterproof camera case.

This is an awesome photo....I heard some guy from Australia took this pic, is this true?
absolutely true, probably one of the best photographers i've ever met. after taking the photo he threw his parachute off the cliff, counted to five, then jumped after it.
