We had lunch at a beautiful hotel by the beach. The buffet was delicious! Pictured below: an okra and onion dish, pasta dish, chickpea dish, and a little cup of fruit.

Here we saw a pool filled with "Doctor Fish" (Garra rufa). They are found in salons in certain places across the globe. We dipped our fingers in the pool to see if we were up for an actual pedicure!

Here the fish are nibbling away all of the dead skin on our feet. It tickled!

MAHABALIPURAM 

(Mamallapuram)

Nearby was a place called Mahabalipuram  - UNESCO World Heritage site.

Mahabalipuram consists of three sites filled with monolithic architecture.

We LOVE elephants!!  <3

Each temple was carved from a single stone!

For all of those who doubted that Ganesh is an Apple fan!

There were quotes all over the place. Sometimes we'll be driving down the road, and there will be sayings that cover the walls, in both English and Tamil!

Next, a huge celebration traditionally performed around the husband's 60th birthday - a renewal of marriage vows.
