Hampi - 1

Diego (my driver) and I headed off for Hampi to see the fascinating ruins of Vijayanagar and a ton of other old stuff

Pit stop (literally) "I can't seem to find her a western toilet!" Change and fennel seeds Working the rice paddy Women at work Nice form Scary hotel in Hampi Shower head is misleading. Had to shower from the bucket. Pretty Crossing the river to see Virukaksha Temple Morning wash Fried peppers Now that's a sun salutation Looks ancient because it is Pilgrimage Breakfast snacks Crossing the symbolic river into the temple Taking blessings Lakshmi, the temple elephant Nice Lhakshmi Blessings for Lisa from Lhakshmi Temple pilgrimage The locals Carvings, carvings, everywhere Main gopuram (entrance) stands approx 38 ft high Hemakuta Hill overlooking Virupaksha Temple On the hill with Lisa Scattering of ruins Who did that? Boulders strewn all around the landscape Behind every great man is a woman
