Palaces, Cows, and a Ben

Ben spent 7 1/2 weeks in India setting up a research project that will continue throughout the next year in the southern part of the country called Madurai. He only got Sundays off to go explore because everyone there works 6 day weeks. Here are a few pictures of places he was able to visit. He saw palaces, mansions, wildlife preserves with elephants and tigers, the Taj Mahal, cows roaming freely amongst the locals, and even rode an elephant (yep I'm still pretty jealous about that one). He might post some more pictures that are on his computer but here are a few to give you an idea.
