Yesterday our family traveled to the tombs of the seven kings that ruled over the fort that you heard about in Mark's blog. They were HUGE. Not only were the kings kept in them, but they had
separate tombs for the
wives, sons, and daughters. You had to take your shoes off before going into them and our guide had to yell some sort of a chant before we could take the curtain off of the tomb.
Each tomb had a way to get to the top. There were eight
entrances, but only one was the right way. It was too bad that they were all closed off so that we couldn't get up. The last tomb was never finished because the fort was taken over before it was finished. We actually ended up going back to the fort afterwards and did pretty much the same tour as we had done the other day. We got back from Hyderabad this morning and are ready to start school tomorrow. I'll update you about our school in a couple of days.

Wow Thomas,
It is great to hear about this history of India. I am looking so forward to being there with you in about six weeks.
Love Grandma
Sounds like a great adventure. Love, Aunt Lolly
Hey Thomas,
You all seem to be enjoying your time in India and seeing some of the historical places. Good luck to you at your new school. We enjoy your comments - you are an excellent writer!

That is really awsome. I wish I was there with you. I hope you have more fun with school and good luck with the musical.
