Ellora Caves

The next day we headed to the Ellora caves, also a UNESCO World Heritage site and only 45 minutes from Aurungabad. This was the most impressive site we saw during our trip. The whole area had been carved into a mountain.

And Foster's Paparazzi continues to follow him.

Sometimes India just makes us a little crazy.

Ajunta Caves

We flew into Mumbai and then the next day headed to Arungabad, where we took a 2.5 hour drive to the Ajunta caves, which is a World Heritage Site.  Foster had a blast running around the caves, which turned out to be pretty cool, literally ancient A.C.

An Egg-cellent Easter

Foster definitely got into the Easter spirit this year the perfect chance for him to learn lots of new words such a "hiding," "dying," and "finding" eggs and best of all that they contained "chocolate."  He had lots of fun and we still find random eggs around the house which he has hidden.

Thank you Grandma!

Foster has learned that the "boxes" mom and dad bring back from the Consulate are always exciting and usually contain something for him. Today, he was a lucky little boy and got lots of treats from his Grandma Mataya. He was so excited.

Ellora Caves Trip

We're talking advantage of a local holiday this weekend and traveling to the Ellora Caves, just east of Mumbai.  The photos online remind me of an old Indiana Jones movie - the Temple of Doom :-) Hopefully, monkey brain won't be part of our dinner, but if so we promise to record the taste testing...Hey when in Rome! As part of the trip we are also taking advantage of the proximity to Mumbai and staying there for a bit.  It will be nice to revisit one of the largest and most cosmopolitan Indian cities.
