Seeing the Sights in India...

Here are some pictures of Josh's time seeing the sights.

On the beach near the hotel.

 Visiting the monuments at Mamallapuram.

The monuments fall under four different categories; rock-cut cave, monolithic free standing temples, bas-reliefs and structural temples.

 I love the traditional outfits Indian women wear.  No matter the body type the women always look fabulous.  I wish I had clothes like that.

And that concludes our look at Chennai, India.

India Gifts...

Here are some of the items Josh brought back from India.

Two of these stone boxes came home.  One for each Grandmother.

This stone carved box is for me.   The 100 Rupees are worth about 2 dollars.

Tea

A cute wood carved elephant.

A wood carving of one of the India gods - I think.  Good for teaching purposes.

This was a gift to my husband from the company they visited.  Another teaching piece.

Shell necklace given to guests of the hotel when they arrived.

His India Trip...

This is the weekend Hotel that many business people stay in if they arrive in Chennai on the weekend.  Josh and his friends from work were able to stay here two nights and get acclimated before starting a very busy work week in Chennai and Bangalore.

The Radisson Blu Hotel boasts the largest pool in all of India.  It is pretty. In fact, the stark difference between outside the hotel gates and inside the hotel gates caught Josh's attention right away.  That's the focus of this post.  

 Now let's peak outside the gates...

And back to the Hotel.
