almost done

Went to Chowpatti beach. Toxic beyond belief. You can actually see the garbage in the waves. A bunch of teens saw us on the beach and wanted us to write our names all over their arms to celebrate friendship day (weird Indian holiday). Took a harrowing boat ride to Elephant Island. Small boats don't fare well in monsoon season. One lady passed out and several vomited and I got soaked to the bone. The island was pretty awesome. Lots of great Hindu cave carvings. We also went to the Kaneri caves. These were Buddhist caves and much more beautiful and interesting. Both caves were over run with monkeys. I never thought I'd say it, but I hate monkeys. They do nothing but cause problems and make me nervous.The steal stuff and fight with each other; I'm pretty sure that even the other animals hate them. Whenever they are around I make sure to carry a stick just in case (rabies was the only shot I didn't get). We are getting pretty worn out so there probably won't be much more than souvenir shopping before we leave. Our flight leaves at 5am so we won't be able get much sleep. I can't wait to get back to the sanity of the states.
