Summary:
At the end of the street was a small(ish) mall with a kinda weird facade inside. It turns out the second and third floors are all one megastore, so I guess they wanted solid walls? Anyway, it took me a while to figure out that diagonal stripe against th

Summary:
This very pretty sidewalk art was in front of someone's house, I think (or maybe an apartment complex). But I'm pretty sure it's sidewalk chalk - seems like it would be a shame to have it wash away!

We stopped by the Cauvery river in Talkad. It was pretty, but crowded! Apparently the bottom is very sandy and shallow, so you can almost walk across it.
