Well, we've returned to dry land and wifi. We spent last night house-boating it on the backwaters of Kerala. The tourism motto for Kerala is God's Own country, and it certainly lives up to its promise. We knew we were going to be treated well when we were greeting with green coconuts full of tasty juice upon our arrival.
The afternoon was spent cruising down the river quietly reading as we floated by life happening--laundry, fishing, children playing, and cormorants waiting to swoop down and claim a tasty dinner. At six we docked at a small village to walk the along the shore and watch the sun set over the rice fields. After a fabuolous dinner, cooked up right on the boat, we settled down to watch a Tamil movie on deck. Later we were rocked to sleep by the swaying of the boat. Now we are at Kovalam Beach which is quite a resort area. As great as the last few days were, it will be nice to have a little luxury. The hot water is on all day here, as opposed to only 7-10,and we don't have to use a cup and bucket to get enough water to shower. Only a few more days before we are home. Miss you all. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

This definitely ranks right up there with our favourite trip. It has been amazing. Since Mr. H was born here and went to school here it was really special for him. That said, I can't really think of a trip we have done that we didn't like. Mr. H also loved, loved, loved Turkey and we both like spending time in Italy.
