Entry ways, tunnels, amigdaloidal basalt, temples caved out in splendid ways. It’s hard to imagine that the caves really exist.

Only two more days of class, and then Sacred Tests and Religions is over. But first we4 must write a 10 page paper! Scary. I don’t even know what I am going to write on yet. I’m thinking of writing about Sita and whether she is the “idezl woman and wife” or not. Or maybe if Rama is an ideal man.
Wednesday is our last day, and then we’re on vacation before our archaeology course begins in Southern India. For the 5 day break I’m heading down near Bangalore to a hill station called Kodi, where Mihra lives. A group of us girls is going to hang around there and go hiking~ It’s going to be awesome. And then we’ll meet our group in Bangalore next Monday. This means two great things. One, that we will be able to have an extra day of fun, since we’ll be skipping the long train ride from Pune to Bangalore with the rest of the group on Sunday (although we are doing this Wednesday instead, so I guess it sorta evens out) and Two, we’re actually making money by going on this trip. Because we got our original train tickets (first class, AC) to Bangalore refunded, and used that money to pay for our trip. We are taking second class, non-AC, and then having a hired car take us to Mihra’s house. And then on Monday morning taking the train to Bangalore (second class, non-AC). All of this is under the amount of the AC train ticket! :o)

God Bless You. I’ve never understand that. sneeze it's contagious. the saying. does anyone mean it?
