We began the day early at the office. This is a view of the country once outside of Bangalore.
The cocoanut palms are beautiful and the sugar cane is ripening, I believe.
All along the way there are interesting things to see. This is a local temple along the roadside.
We have arrived in Mysore at the Maharajah Palace (King's Palace) after 4 hours in the bus.
It cost 20 rupees for an Indian (about $.50) and 10 times more for a foreigner (that's us).
It is so beautiful inside the grounds.
This is the group of 12 of us that went on this trip. Some of the Elders didn't get the memo about the required standard Missionary attire and showed up in tee shirts!

There were camel rides and elephant rides. We just watched today.
The children are so beautiful and the ladies dress up in their pretty saris every day.
Here are a couple different views of the Maharajah Palace as seen through a photographer's eye.
We managed to depart with the same Elders that we arrived with! Lucky!

Some views on the way home.
The countryside was so beautiful and interesting for us to see.
Quite often you will see ox carts being driven laden with many different kinds of products.

The sky was so beautiful after the rain.
