A day of firsts here in Mamallapuram.

First morning run – I only made it 2.5 km before the heat was too much.

First long walk down a sandy beach. We walked back from the Tiger Cave. A beautiful hour long walk.

First beer – we shared a Kingfisher before dinner. Tamil Nadu is technically a dry state, but a lot of the restaurants here have alcohol if you ask.

First night spent puking my guts out. Not sure what it was. Maybe the heat, the beer, or some contaminated food. I’m feeling better this morning, but I was throwing up all night and had the chills. If any symptoms come back I’ll have to see a doctor.
