Hey everybody!! So check out my Rishikesh blog, it is finally updated...

On to the next adventure. A Yoga group member, Amber, and I went to Aurangabad to visit the incredible caves at Ajanta and Ellora. We had to travel to the middle of nowhere to do it, but it was well worth it.

Wow- these caves are incredible. And photos barely do them justice. We had to drive 2 hours to these caves, where I felt like i should be fliming an Indiana Jones Movie. At Ajanta, they are all Buddhist, and were built from 400BC to 800 AD or so. I will do a separate entry for the caves at Ellora, which were equally incredible.

There was really nothing else to do in this place but see the caves, so we made a whole day of it and took hundreds of pictures. I am posting more soon!

the journey continues!!
