Sat. Feb. 25th

The kids see a white person speaking english they just flock to you. They were just going crazy I took pictures of them and they were so happy..... They followed me over Golkonda Fort which you will see the pictures of below. ANYWAY.... THE KIDS WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE IN THE U.S.---HOW ARE YOU!!!-----
The acoustics in the fort is unbelievable you can hear a person clap inside the build from over a mile away... You can see the technique used to allow the sound to travel long distances.


This is taken from the top of the fort. The fort was first built in 1316AD


This building was added in the 1600's.


The picture above is of the water quarry they have three watering tanks around the fort and this is the only one with water. They were very large watering tanks.
The fort is 7 miles wide. This is the back side of the fort. You can see the size of the structure.
Pictures from the entrance
We were standing on this rock and we could hear the person in the middle structure at the bottom of the hill clapping.
The Hammer at the top of the fort looking for water and some more oxygen. Probably climbed 20 stories at this point with out stopping....
One for the mosque on the hilltop
View from the hill top ... Click and enlarge zoom in on the round top buildings..

So the pictures are from a trip to the Golkonda Fort. You will see more over the next week. I was very impressed with the fort. The things are so different in the states. Instead of keeping the area trimmed they just burn everything. So you see areas in the fort that have been burnt to kill the weeds. The other thing is no one has trash cans so garbage is all over the fort. I feel sorry for the people of India because they will continue to destroy their great national treasures...
