hampi
hey mom and everyone,
i'm in a small town called hampi (pronounced "humpy") and there are more temples here than any other place in india. it's small, beautiful, and hot as hell. you know those 4 travelers i met at the hostel in goa and traveled here with? we're all now going to my buddy, kish's place via train tonight (saturday) @6pm. it's an amazing group dynamic that we have and i think everyone knows it.
oh, and i know you'll find this fascinating, one of the girls we're traveling with, kelly, is from england and is 19 years old, traveling by herself. she said her mom did the same thing when her mom was her age. see, girls CAN and DO travel alone ;) she's pretty much taking the same route as me: india, northern india, then to southest asia (thailand, cambodia, vietnam).
diego (32) who owns his own textile business in argentina, has been to over 30 countries and knows so much about so many places. he said that myanmar (burma) is the most beautiful place he's ever been. i'm thinking about flying there from thailand.
inez (23), is from holland and she just received her masters in criminology, and her english is beyond impressive. she's going the in the same general direction as kelly and i.
and kish (24), he's indian but born and raised in england. his parents are indian but from africa. him and his brother own their own convenient store in a suburb of london. we're going to his parent's vacation home for a few days which is just outside of mumbai.
it's amazing how we're all traveling alone and happened to meet each other and pretty much goin the same routes. if i ever had any doubts about traveling alone, i know to just have faith in the best. i will post pictures as soon as i get the chance.
love you, mom :)
miss you guys :)
