Bijapur

This was a really nice town. I guess I say that a lot, but I really liked Bijapur. There are ruins of mosques and shrines and other thingies all over this town. You can just wander around all day and be constantly surprised. The people were amazing. I attracted quite a crowd at the Jama Masjid, and was told of the wonders of Islam. I told them I was from Dubai, was well acquainted with Islam but thanked them for their concern.
