Those places sound amazing though and Chennai isn't far, relatively speaking, so next time!<br /><br />One of the students was telling me about a family vacation he took to a skiing area in the north. His mother was crying through the whole drive, she was so scared as their bus was winding up the mountain side. Your experience sounds even crazier!Sarah Jerromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043528459804429503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019389161137626772.post-44562928007981183902010-09-08T05:51:39.441-07:002010-09-08T05:51:39.441-07:00Thanks, Jan!

One of the students came along for the day to keep me company which made it a great day. Good conversation = distraction from hair-raising traffic!Sarah Jerromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043528459804429503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019389161137626772.post-30517198690880745752010-09-07T08:33:04.484-07:002010-09-07T08:33:04.484-07:00I can imagine your Dad's reaction when you tol...I can imagine your Dad's reaction when you told him you wanted to be a rock star . "On my own in Chennai with a driver"...did you ever imagine you'd be saying those words?? You're a great writer, Sarah!

The Myalore Kapaleeswarar Temple is amazing and shows what the old temples probably looked like in their day. St. Andrews Church (1821) is interesting from a historical standpoint and the Guindy Reptile Park is, well, full of reptiles, what can I say?<br /><br />Hansi and I can verify your bus experiences - we rode a bus down from Shimla, up in the Himalayas, to Chandigarh; navigating the switchback road with no guardrails in the company of lots of other buses and trucks, not to mention the rest of the traffic . . . still and all, we do miss it!<br /><br />Continue to love your blog, Rob.Rob Tripehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770538545136310772noreply@blogger.com
