Kruisin in Kerala
Hi everyone,
We're here, safe and sound, in Kerala, South India. Lenka and I arrived two days ago, and Ian turned up yesterday (minus his bag unfortunately). We're hoping it shows up today!
Lenka and I spent some quality time wandering around Trivandrum yesterday. Though it's a fairly mellow capitol by Indian standards, it's still a pretty intense experience. Lenka really dived in to the full experience--by stepping her nice clean foot into a black bog of goo by the bus station! But she was a trooper, and a little water and laughter did the trick.
We've already started eating our way through the wonderful south Indian regional menu, twice now at our favorite local restaurant the Hotel Arya Nivas. Yum! The fresh local flavors are amazing, and wonderful to taste again.
In about an hour we'll be heading to our friend's gurukulam, and spend a couple of days there. I promised my swami friend that I'd bring Italian food for him, and a bunch of treats for the kids. After that we'll be heading to the Sivananda ashram in Neyyar Dam for 4 days... hopefully our internal clocks will be reset to Indian time by then. Lenka and I were wide awake at 1am this morning, and didn't get back to sleep until about 7am.
Blessings to all, and more soon! Oh yeah, I guess we should take some photos too... ;-)
Love,
Mark, Lenka and Ian
