India Part 1: Around Chennai

We docked in Chennai, which has come a long way in recent years according to my fellow voyagers who have been there before.  It was hot, dirty, smelly and sweaty as I suspected, but I enjoyed every minute and especially appreciated the incredible food.  Southern India definitely has more to offer than I suspected and it makes me want to go back and explore the North that much more! 

Hindu Temple in Chennai


Auto Rickshaws...our main form of transportation around the city.  A wild ride and a lot of fun if you can actually get the driver to take you where you want to go without stopping at the silk shop where he gets a kickback.

Silk, silk, and more silk.

Dosa (savory south Indian pancakes) lunch served on a banana leaf.

Marci with the greatest dish of all...paper dosa.
