Today we had a 7 hour drive from Hassan to Hospet. Maybe 150 miles but country roads make a long trip. Watching the countryside pass by never gets tiring. 75% of India’s population is rural in small villages. Most are in farming and a few industrial jobs. They are poor but have their communities. The govt. has large boarding schools where children from remote villages live and receive education.

Attached are some photos out our car window during our drive.
