My group and I got back Friday morning from an 8 day excursion through the state of Karnataka. We visited Badami which has Buddhist and Jain cave temples (and lots of monkeys), Bijapur which is known for its Muslim architecture, and Hampi which is an ancient city. Here are some photo highlights!

| Justin and Matt (I'll let you attempt to pick them out) swimming in the sacred pool at Aihole, pronounced a-hole. Fine, it's actually ai-ho-lay. The pool is naturally fed through springs which flow through up through the sandy bottom! |
