Chennai, India

We arrived in Chennai a few days ago- on the first day I took a general city tour and then went on a 3 day, 2 night home stay, hosted by the local Rotary club.  Sandy left a couple days ago at "o'dark" to catch a flight to New Delhi where she is touring, including the Taj Mahal and Varanasi.  It is hot and humid and the city is chock full of people (about 7.5 million).  I hope they have no-fault car insurance as cars, motorcycles and people all seem to converge to within inches of each other along the roads.  The following are some visuals of places and people in the city:
