Internet is very slow here, so I won't write much, but I just wanted to let everyone know I'm ok! This is the place where, according to Hindu legend, Lord Rama spent 14 years in exile. I have climbed the many stairs to the top of a mountain where the monkey god Hanuman is worshiped, visited a museum where the story of the Ramayana is told via pictures and sculptures, and walked by a river and inside a cave where they say Ram and his wife, Sita, lived during their time in exile. I also took a boat ride on the river that came complete with a rug and comfy cushions, sound system, and white rabbit. Tomorrow I go back to Khajuraho where a friend has invited me to a wedding. I may also spend a night or two in a small village near Khajuraho, with my friend Raju's family. It is so peaceful and quiet there. Then I head to Agra to see the Taj Mahal before I fly to Kerala from Delhi on Feb 14. If I don't write again before that, Happy Valentine's Day!
Namaste,
Melissa
