We hope everyone back home is staying safe and warm. As we enjoy the sunny skies and 30 degree Celsius weather we hear that you are "enjoying" snow storms and road closures.
Cochin India is a fascinating combination of fishing village and an industrial port. The same scene that captures water buffalo and Chinese fishing nets captures cargo ships and industry. Indeed, the Kerala province is anything but backward--the literacy rate here is close to 100% Well, we are going to sip a nice cold drink of ginger lemonade as we wait to enjoy our evening entertainment of traditional dance. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

Today, you're taking "ghat" roads to Ooty. Could you take a picture of what a "ghat" road is. Enjoy your "travel back in time" today, Ray!

Good question. It is a little more complex than this, but the simple answer is PLASTICS! India has the largest population in the world next to China. They throw their waste off the trains, on the streets...well, you get the picture. If it isn't biodegradable it becomes a huge problem. They are working on mechanisms to combat the problem. So reduce, reuse, recycle...
