On the way to Mysore, there was a bit of a traffic jam in a town, so the three guys on the right with platters on their heads were selling snacks! (they didn't stop by our car :-( )

We stopped in Shrirangapattana and saw the temple there. It was nice, modulo some extremely pushy vendors.

After seeing the temple, we walked around the town a bit. Here's Jumma Masjid, a mosque.

More walking around Shrirangapattana. The tunnel was barely wide enough for one car, so with people and motorcycles going through the cars got a bit cranky having to wait.

Our first stop in Mysore proper was the Railroad Museum! (it was pretty small) I'm pretty sure the top language on the sign is Kannada (the state language of Karnataka) and the middle language is Hindi. (the national language that is surprisingly rare t

Next we went to Mysore Palace - here's outside the gates. The palm trees make it look very Indian! (or Floridian, I suppose...)

The palace itself is on the left, and there were beautiful gardens around it. Unfortunately no pictures are allowed inside - it's quite beautiful!

Elsewhere on the palace grounds, this elephant was giving rides. His trunk had just touched the kid, which freaked the kid out. (honestly, I can't blame him...)
