Mamallipurom


Mamallipurom is a very ancient site. Most of it is open, so we could touch it and climb around. During the big tsunami, more of it got uncovered. The carvings are so incredible! Click on the picture to make it bigger, and study the detail. The site is very beautiful, and quite large. A person could easily spend a full day there, and want to come back for more. We were there about three hours, and I'm pretty sure I missed some things. There aren't signs with history or anything, but plenty of people are standing around willing to give you a guided tour, for just 100 rupees or so! We said no thanks. Wandering is more fun for Michael and me.
