Hampi and photo's

Hello dear all,

I have visited Hampi, 6 hours of driving to the north and a little west from Puttaparthi and it was competely worthwhile the journey!

It consists of a large aera witch was formerly in the 13th century a Kingdom and existed of many, many Hindu temples and big buildings for living and the elephants. A beautiful architecture in Hindu style and somtimes a little Islamic style. The complete site is only reachable by foot or by riksha so there is a kind of peacefullness around it that is very nice!

Also because of the beautiful nature: big rocks and a river. When we were walking there, on many places we looked astonished around us to be aware of so much natural beauty.

I take about we: the day before I left I met Marjolein from Holland in the swimming pool, we talked and I invited her to come with me, because she had plans to go out of Puttaparthi. And so she did. We had a great time together, talked a lot and laughed a lot: a good combination.
Marjolein will end her last thesises from Religous studies and Filosofie this school year: succes Marjolein!

And back in Putti again: as if I come home each time. The days are now with leaving in mind: on Tuesday we fly off to Kashmir. I am looking forward to that a lot. I am going to see if I can sent a big package back to Holland, things I do not need anymore in Kashmir, travel lighter is better.

all the best, doing very well, liefs Ellen
