Before the three hour bus ride to Mysore
We decided to splurge on the hotel for the night
Entry to the Mysore Palace. Notice perfectly blue skies. Amazing.
Maharaja's Palace from the side
Nina pays 20 rupees because she fakes being an Indian citizen. Seth pays 200 rupees because there's no question he's a foreigner. I'm never going to be okay with this.
Maharaja's Palace through the gate
Really incredible
We were so popular that a procession was following us from behind leading up to the palace; you just can't see them.
Who is more scary?
In front of the palace. Should send this one to the Mercersburg magazine.
Views of the palace and the blue sky.

This sign was actually referring to either a camel or an elephant ride. Who woulda thought...
Entry way to the palace grounds
Nina and our auto driver/guide/new found friend Babu
Streets of Mysore
Philomena's Church
And then she drove around the town in her American outfit and tried to blend in with the other auto drivers.
Yeah, right.
Making incense
Never seen this before. A mobile charger brought to your table. Having a beer and charging your phone simultaneously. In India.
She gets more calls on her temporary Indian cell phone than I do.
Cold beer after a day of traveling and sightseeing. Perfect.
What's up Sunglasses at Night?
Keep in mind, we had just struck up conversation with a group of Dutch "strangers" at the table next to us.
Cruising in the auto on some rural roads
Plowin
Boat ride in the bird sanctuary. So peaceful.
Hello Monkey.
Hello Nina. Notice traditional Indian garb.
Hello birds.
Mini bananas
Babu is the man. We had to take pictures with him. Seriously best auto driver in India. Hands down.
Enjoying a post-dinner drink in Bangalore. We stayed with Nina's cousin Neil who was an awesome host.
Pre Brunch on Sunday morning.
Taking a walk in the park. Obviously needed to take a photo with Bangalore's Curious George.
We hiked all the way up there!
