Southern India Nov 29th and 30th



Still in southern India.. 800 miles from Mumbai where the terrorist attacked.


I was just today in the southern most point of India at a temple built in memorial to Swami Vivekandanda (1863-1902). Its on a rock off shore.
Also at this southern most point of India the Sun sets and rises in plain view from this place. I was there for both events this weekend.

Here are a few teenagers visiting the temple who were anxious to get photographed with a westerner from the U.S.





The day before on the trip down to the Temple we stopped at a famous waterfall where locals come for purification and as you can see from the pictures a little "fun". The watefall was a little turbulent due to the rains over he previous days but it didn't stop these teenagers from enjoying the moment.
