So Hampi is turning out to be a great place to do nothing but read and take in the atmosphere. Sounds lame but is really awesome.

Rode in a circle boat made of bamboo, tar, and fiberglass and spun down the river taking in the views of the ruins and temples and rocks that look like someone was trying to build towers and then either got distracted or accidentally knocked them over. Great huge boulders. They are awesome. In fact if you took Colorado and mixed it with Florida, you would have somewhere eerily similar to Hampi.

And the mosquitoes here are way friendly. Overly friendly. I do not appreciate.

Oh and I forgot what took about an hour of our time yesterday: Laura and I decided to get our legs waxed. In case you were wondering, yes it hurt. And no, the lady did not, in fact, know what she was doing, despite having all the proper equipment. Laura has 2 blisters from overly hot wax and my legs are only half bare of hair despite repeated attempts. Needless to say I did not want to have to explain to her how to do this properly, so I gave up and refused to pay more than 50 rupees. That's a dollar. And my legs are less hairy...

sidenote: a baby cow snuggled up to me and nursed on my finger this morning. It was adorable.
sidenote 2: a dalmatian puppy and I played today. She had no off button, loads of energy, and sharp teeth. It was adorable for about 1 minute and then I wanted put her in a kennel. I smiled cuz I love animals but I really wanted to tell them to teach her a few manners, she was yanking on my skirt and wouldn't let go! And she bit my hair. Good thing puppies are cute
