Hump it to Hampi

When the realization that I only have a week left for my trip finally sunk in, I decided to Hump it to Hampi and skip Gokarna altogether. Let me explain that Hampi is a pilgramage site for Hindus all over the country becasue of the ancient ruins, but for others it's been long forgotten. In the 60's a bunch of Hippies discovered it, unpacked their sacks, and made a home in the ruins. Where the hippies go, the tourist follow. I suppose it's like any neighborhood in American cities made popular by a booming art scene and then the developers come to squeeze every drop of soul the place ever had all for a buck. Hampi has a village affect with hella cows. But there are more temples than there are cows, over 2,000 temples my Yoga teacher told me. Today I'll visit Hanuman's birth place, a hill covered with monkeys and they're vicious here. Don't worry, I left my bananas at home. Then I'll hit the water falls and visit my friends coconut, mango, and sugar cane plantation. Just a few more day to take in the unraveling affects of India. Just a few more days to plan my next trip back. When I arrived I had so much stress about how long I would stay, but now there's no doubt in my mind that I will be back, and soon. Bangalore on Wednesday, shop, eat, and fly baby!
