This woman was the grandma of the girl who did our henna. On her arms are permanent tattoos that she gave herself when she was young. She had a fever for a week afterward. Apparently this is a popular custom among her generation.

Mamallapuram
These are pictures of Mamallapuram, a small fisherman's village just south of Chennai. We spent a short weekend there but some of the highlights were biking around the town, climbing boulders, playing cricket with a bunch of little boys, and watching the fishermen.
