Hopping around Hampi
Just got back from a wonderful trip to Hampi. This is the small dusty riverside town set amidst
the sprawling ruins of the old kingdom of Vijayanagar. There are literally thousands of ruins, arches, temples, towers, and stone pillars scattered over many square miles of rolling hills and golden granite boulders. It is so reminiscent of the Joshua Tree landscape... except
with palm trees, banana plantations, and monkeys everywhere. An amazing place to wander, as there are surprises at every turn. We LOVED climbing hills for sunrise and sunset views... Another highlight was toodling around on scooters to visit the more distant ruins. Our friend Marya has arrived now, and will stay with us for a month or two. It was great having her along, as we were able to properly cram 3 people on each scooter. Buzzing joyfully down country roads, the girls giggled and laughed and begged me to buy a motorcycle when we return
to California!
