Country Boy

I’m flying to the U.S. tonight, after spending my final few days abroad in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh.  Khajuraho is best known for its intricate, erotic temple carvings from about 1,000 years ago.  The area contains some of the most famous temple art in the world.  After a few hours of exploring temples, we decided to spend most of our time enjoying the countryside, far from Delhi.  We hiked and biked through villages and country roads, received ayurvedic oil massages, and saw some local dancing.  It was a relatively low-key way to end my time in India, and I was ready for that.
