India part 4 – Mysore Palace

For my last weekend in India, 5 guys from my team and I went to nearby Mysore to visit the large palace. We had breakfast along the way, where I had some of the most tasty Indian food of my trip. A quick stop at a summer home of an important warrior (who really remembers the details!), a drive past the local catholic church, and then we arrived at the palace. Of course my entrance fee was ten times that of Indians, but it was worth it to see all the intricate wood carved doors, paintings of parades, and stained glass windows. Afterward, we rode a camel and elephant, stopped for Chinese food, and went swimming at sunset underneath a wide set of waterfalls. A long but fun day to wrap up my trip to India.
