I realize local road travel, especially taxi, is always more expensive (time and money) than long distance rail travel, but this #atrocity in and around #Bengaluru #India: 😒
Train, long distance: 386kms, 4.5 hrs, ₹1980 for two.
Taxi, home to station: 30kms, 1.5 hrs, ₹1100 for two.

So, I can't eat any fresh greens when I #travel home to #America next week?
This is the type of advice I used to get when traveling to places like #India or

Wife and I are thinking about Central America for spring break (March), current suggestions have been Dominican Republic, Costa Rico, Belize, Puerto Rico.
7-10 days.
Recommendations? Strong opinions?

My second time in Mantralayam #India. The first was over 4 decades ago, and I've virtually no memory of that visit.
I know the kind of great experiences that can be had here, but I've to set low expectations and let things come to me over the next three days. 🙇‍♂️
"raayariddaare" as they say in these parts.

#Coincidence: I rarely visit Mysore India, but I visited there both this year and the last, that too in the same month and week; just two days apart.
Plus, both years, I returned to Udupi on exactly the same month and day. 🤓

made to the early ferry (though thankfully not the EARLIEST ferry)
This one has the best view from the foot passenger waiting lounge of any.
Looking out to Gabriola Island from Duke Point.
Wish us sunny skies for the ball game!

Since I mentioned it: Hampi was the capital of Vijayanagara empire 14-16 Century CE and is believed to be the world's most prosperous city in that era. The temple complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has some of the most stunning architecture and sculptures you'll ever see. Absolutely worth a visit.

Thinking of all the time I spent at Indian airports, awaiting boarding in the gate area for hours each time, not knowing my bank actually gave me free access to lounges with decent comfort and food. 🤦‍♂️

A thousand dollars if you manage to find and purchase a ticket on the Indian Railways website without having to log in at least twice (more likely thrice). 😒

Wonderful #experience yesterday at Mantralaya #India. Skipping personal details, participated in the evening processions (1), then sat mere feet from the "brindaawana" (2, shrine) of Shree Raaghawaendra Swami during final service. 🙇‍♂️
Plus, good food. 😋
PS: Pic 1 is mine; 2 is official release (not mine)

Lodging is a big concern visiting Mantralaya #India but turns out we had the best: Clean, large, AC suite ~100m from temple entry; just walk without footwear. It's also their most expensive lodging but worth it, esp. because it sleeps 4.
Bonus that the lodge gave me some nice pictures. 📷
PS: Shiva at lodge entry is odd given the temple's faith, but 😐

Views of the brilliant gilded pavilion and the decorated altar at the end of the Adamaaru main service. The last pic is of the "uthsawa moorthi", the idol used away from the altar. 🛕
Humbly: Such clear, closeup pics of the ritual and the idols are quite rare. 🙇‍♂️

Wednesday: Superb day trip to Mysuru #India to participate in "chaaturmaasa" observance by Kaniyooru Swamiji and junior Adamaaru Swamiji. 🙇‍♂️
Adamaaru service pics: As in other mathas, the altar starts simple and progressively enriches. Last pic (not mine) is of the main idol "the 4-armed Krishna subduing the Kaalinga serpent".
