Afterward, some of us decided to hire a rickshaw and hit the town to see the locals and some sites. Derek, myself and Brandie were in one, with "Uncle" Phil, Anna and Micah in another, we literally raced across town to see a few temples.
Along the way, we weaved in and out of traffic, had near collisions with our fellow rickshaw driver, and got to enjoy all the locals that were out and about. I saw quite a few animals wandering around (dogs, cows and goats), but they didn't seem to turn up anyone's eyebrows but me.
We found a few places open (they all appear to have weird times) and set about to explore the surroundings.
At Saint Andrew's Kirk, we found the temple closed but they had a really nice slide that we of course had to climb all over..although it was not so much fun sliding down.
As we were about to leave, a nice man opened the side door and allowed us inside to look at the temple. As we sat by the organ, he even offered to play us some music...of course that was after we had found the joy in the automatic timer of Derek's camera:
There were large pillars outside, were we also posed for surprise! Another picture.
After checking out the local markets, we headed back to the Marriott hotel for one more night of hot showers and western toilets, because tomorrow will definitely be a brand NEW day with new experiences.

I love the pictures. Wish I could be there with you, but I don't think 3 kids travel well enough to make it to India. PS-your frog hasn't died yet.
