Taj Mahal, ruins, caves, and all kinds of goodness

Hello! I'm posting this to let everyone know that I am indeed still updating the blog! ... Unfortunately, we still haven't found an internet cafe in India capable of reading SD cards -- well, I did find one, but it was a 28.8 dialup connection -- kind of ironic, really

Anyways, India is an amazing place! ... We went from Varanasi to Agra (Taj Mahal!), then slowly south through a number of different places. As the title of the post suggests, through plenty of ancient ruins, 2000 year old Buddhist caves carved in solid rock, temples, an island shaped like the Om symbol, etc etc etc...we were even invited for chai into the house of a sadhu!

Next, we're going to Mumbai (Bombay), then south to the tropical beaches of Goa... Lazing around on a beach for the next couple of weeks doesn't sound half bad!

Hopefully everybody had a great christmas and a happy new year!
