Gingee Fort

Well I have not been feeling well this past week, had to have some dental surgery done. So this is a little late. We went to the village of Gingee Fort on Sat. Sept. 25th. It is about 2.5 hrs south east of Chennai. Gingee Fort is a 13th century military fort. The fort was strategically built atop a mountain surrounded by large boulder fields below. The climb took 2hrs in the mid-day heat. I know what all of you are thinking about now, How did she do that? I really don't know how I made it but I'm sure glad I did. The view was amazing!! I could have done without the Monkey guards though, that scared me a lot. We met some very nice college kids along the way. On the way home we stopped to eat at a hotel/restaurant at least that's what the sign said. The food was good even though we had to share it with the flies. Hope you enjoy the pics.
