Dear Daughter,
Papa went to Chennai this weekend, which is a very, very big city in Tamil Nadu and is the capital of the region.
Papa saw a Cricket match between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. Cricket is a game similar to baseball and is very popular in India. Several of the best players in the world are Indians and I got to see them play. Unfortunately cameras were not allowed in the stadium so I will have to tell you about it in person.
Also, I went to a place called Mahabalipuram, which is famous for huge stone carvings. It was really neat to see. There were life-size elephants and temples carved out of a single stone! And, there was a huge boulder called "Krishna's Butterball," because Krishna was rumored to always be stealing his mother's butter. He was a bit naughty at times. How do you think it got there?
Do you remember walking around Bandelier in New Mexico with Papa and we climbed into all of those caves on the ladders? This was similar to that at times, so you would have liked this.
When I was walking around, I saw this little goat who was a bit confused. He wanted to join the other animals, but they were all stone sculptures! Silly little goat.
I love you,
Papa
