"further up and further in"

today i went to the kanheri caves just north of the city. they are 109 first century buddhist caves carved into the hillside. no one else was there except the guy who sold me the ticket to get into the park. i don't know why more people don't visit this exquisite piece of history. i spent the better part of the day ascending and descending steps (buddhists love their steps) and exploring dark caves. i was only stopped once when a large reddish snake lashed out when i tried to cross its path. i highly recommend the kanheri caves to anyone in the area; they are a beautiful retreat away from the hectic city.
