tea plantations and Mysore
I took a respite from the heat and went to some tea plantations in the mountains. It was a very welcome break from all the sweating I had been doing on the coasts of southern India. Afterwards, I headed to Mysore, a decently sized city with some palaces and the heart of incense production in the world.

Hey, Sanders. I'm jealous -- you've now seen more of India than I have!
Small informational note: the idol is not Siva but rather Nandi, Shiva's bull. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandi_bull for a brief synopsis.
